Formscan - Point-to-point winner Minella Marathon changed hands for 200,000 pounds in April and is one to watch in the market for the Dan Skelton team. Purple Owl finished second on his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and may have a say, but CALVINO gets the nod. Paul Nicholls' charge was just touched off into second at Newton Abbot last month, shaping as if this step up in trip would be a good move, so he looks the one to beat.
