MINELLA INDO has the best hurdles form in the line up and showed he is more than capable over fences when finishing runner up on his debut in November. If able to build on that and given a clear round, he may prove hard to beat. First Approach is another who had plenty of ability over hurdles and it will be interesting how much market support there is for him on his chase debut. Ifyoucatchmenow needs to improve his jumping game but if he is capable of doing so then he is likely to run well.
