MINELLA ESCAPE's novice campaign over hurdles last season was promising and this winning pointer appeals as the type to make an even better chaser. He gets the nod ahead of Gevrey, who found just one too good on debut in this sphere at Listowel and should go one better over fences before long. Port Stanley has to be feared, too, while Western Run and Salt Wind are others to consider.
