Formscan - MINELLA HOLLOW is the most experienced over hurdles and can cope with a penalty for winning at Listowel on his penultimate hurdles start. Venezuelan, a potentially progressive recruit from the Flat, did well to finish second to an odds-on favourite on his debut over timber at Uttoxeter and could have a big say with a step forward. The stable companions Loopy Mag and St Michael's Well both won point-to-points and merit betting checks starting out under Rules.

Quotes on Minella Hollow (IRE)
We found it hard to keep him sound last season but brought him back this year and he has been 100%. We gave him a run back in Roscommon but hadn't had him away schooling, and he chipped in plenty that day,. He came on today, he was very fresh and stuck his neck out. Willie's (Mullins' runner-up Reaching High) made a mistake at the last but we also got in close to it, but were quickly away. There is a for sale sign on him.
