NT FIELD MINNESOTA failed to measure up to market expectations on her Rules debut in a Tramore bumper last month, but she may well be seen in a better light now tackling hurdles. Willie Mullins' charge is marginally preferred to Fathom Five, who didn't do much wrong when third in a C&D novice recently and he needs considering. Gone For Tea is worth a second look given what he showed in bumpers, while Bayonetta is also shortlisted.
