Formscan  - Point-to-point winner Minella Sixo impressed when scoring comfortably on his Rules debut over 2m at Fairyhouse earlier this month and, with improvement likely, it will be no surprise if he is able to make his presence felt in this grade. That said, preference is still for POTTERS CHARM, who was on target in a Ffos Las bumper in the spring before confirming that promise when bolting up over 2m4f at Worcester on his debut over timber recently. With his yard in fine form, he looks the one to side with. Cloonainra is also noteworthy.
