Formscan - MINELLA JURY was sold for 80,000 pounds after getting off the mark at Wexford, but connections might have got a bargain because the runner-up came out and won easily at Thurles. As a half-brother to a Group 1 Flat performer in Germany, the five-year-old should be perfectly suited to this trip now he embarks on a hurdling career and he looks quite an exciting prospect. Titanium Ring chased home an unbeaten Dan Skelton representative at Hexham, while Pertemps has a chance if judged on his bumper thirds rather than his ordinary hurdling debut.
