Gary Hanmer's MINELLA RESCUE has started out well over hurdles and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to add to his two bumper successes. Paul Nicholls' Huelgoat rates much the biggest threat on form back in this sphere but does need to shrug off a poor chasing effort at Plumpton last time.
