FormscanBy Alan Magee - MINELLA ROCKET stepped forward from his debut at Leopardstown when fourth over a similar trip at Tipperary. The form of that 13-runner maiden has been working out well since and the John Nallen-trained gelding should give a good account if handling this surface. Manton Bay came home well after a slow start on debut over 6f at the Curragh and is bred to appreciate this step up in distance, while Lauda made an encouraging debut at the Curragh and may have been unsuited by testing ground on both outings since. Grand Premiere, who cost 260,000 dollars as a yearling, and the Henry de Bromhead-trained pair Koekkoek and Starflow are three newcomers to note in the market.
