Going - Chase - Yielding Hurdle - Yielding, yielding to soft in places. Overcast

Formscan By Mark Nunan - MINELLA CROONER can gain his second win over fences. Touched off by a very experienced mare in a Grade Two on chase debut, he got off the mark in first-time headgear here in December before being a well-beaten third in a hot contest at Punchestown. Stepping up in trip will suit and, although he may be a hard horse to place in the future with a mark in the 140s already, this is a good opportunity. Agusta Gold meets the selection on handicap terms but is without a win in over two years and is struggling to recapture her form. Thus far, she is a rare case of a horse that hasn't improved for joining the champion trainer. Sixth in the Irish National last year, Velvet Elvis has been bitterly disappointing this term but has a chance of minor honours if showing any bit of spark. Cape Gentleman is heading for Aintree but is far from a natural over fences while 2020 Kim Muir winner Milan Native has had plenty of issues since then.%0A
