Foru ready for return Minella Foru is close to a return to action according to trainer Eddie Harty. The five-year-old had a decent first season over jumps, winning a Grade Three at Navan and signing off with a creditable sixth place in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. The JP McManus-owned gelding has yet to race on ground quicker than good and Harty will be watching the weather ahead of his reappearance. "He's doing great and is ready for a run if we get some rain in the next three weeks," said the Curragh handler.
