FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Minellas all over the place here with the Clonmel moniker on three of them. The name originates of course with John Nallen, and he fields Minella Away and Minella Moment, and it’ll be interesting if the market indicates a fancy for the latter, a first time out son of Kayf Tara. Hotelier Nallen sold Minella Mystics to owner, Caroline Ahearn, and John McConnell’s charge could enter the equation on his hurdle debut. Glory is back at Cork with a chance after finishing second to Yafordadoe over two miles here nine days back. Up in trip he could be helped by the addition of a tongue-strap. Going the other way distance-wise, FEST DEIZ, is the selection. He made a pleasing first start over flights when runner-up to Oscar Montel over three miles at Limerick. He can now improve in his jumping, and settle better, to step-up a placing to the number one spot. Arguments that some of the others hold place claims are easily made.
