Formscan  - John McConnell must always be respected on his UK raids so it won't be a surprise if MINELLA SUPREME can show his appreciation for the drop in trip. The six-year-old didn't disgrace himself at Cheltenham before a less encouraging Thurles display, but those races were over 3m and an extended 2m6f respectively and he struck over just short of this distance at Kilbeggan prior. The penalised pair Silver Hill and Sanilam are dangerous, and it is worth taking into consideration 80,000-pounds point-to-point recruit Talk To The Boss.

Quotes on Minella Supreme (IRE)

It’s more relief than anything. I probably took a bit of a risk coming back so quick after a fall, but I thought it was a good opportunity. Alex could obviously ride in it as well which was a big help,. He was good, he doesn’t do a whole pile when he hits the front. I’d say the second is probably a nice horse too. We really like him and Alex said he’s still plenty raw. I’m delighted I got away with my gamble. I’d say that was a bare minimum (trip). He said it rode quite quick on him, so I don’t think slower ground or further will be any hindrance to him. He’s done quite a lot now in a short space of time so we’ll probably freshen him up. You might see him in Cheltenham in October, I wouldn’t be surprised if he went. He could turn into a nice horse. There a couple of different race, over different distances there, and the lads would be game ball to have a go.
