Henry de Bromhead has his string in fine order and his MINELLA ESCAPE is taken to go one better than his recent second at Navan. He may do better still and can get the better of The Getaway Star, who has shaped with promise in both her starts over timber so far. Gorki d'Airy and The Creadan Rogue are hurdling debutants representing powerful yards and both need monitoring in the betting.
