Verdict

It will look significant if there's confidence behind MINELLA MARATHON in the betting and the hint should probably be taken if that proves to be the case. Indeed, he won a maiden point pretty decisively during the spring and subsequently fetched £200,000. Calvino had a couple of previous hurdles winners behind when going close on his debut in this sphere at Newton Abbot and, with the promise of better to come, he rates the clear main danger ahead of Purple Owl.
