FormscanBy Dan McEvoy - MINELLA BUOY (7) can finally get his head in front in what is a weak race. Second on each of his three hurdle starts, he was beaten a neck on his hurdling debut. That form is untested, but the son of Golden Horn's second start over hurdles reads well. Although disappointing last time out on the level, he will have to bounce back, and his keen tendencies might leave him susceptible to a closer. Hurdling debutant Sonny Corleone showed promise on his first start for Gordon Elliott when finishing strongly for fourth. He has the highest Flat rating of 59 in this field, but he does need to come back into form after disappointing last time. Bringing English form to the table, Hello Garda can complete the frame.
