Minellafordollars is out of a winning bumper and made a very impressive debut between the flags at Lingstown in December so will be expected to provide Gordon Elliott with another bumper winner. However, CASTLEBROOK went into many a notebook after a facile victory at Tallow and Jimmy Mangan looks to have a very smart recruit on his hands. Eviscerating was left in the lead at Boulta in November and has more to do but Ministerforsport, who failed to finish in his first four starts, has got his jumping act together and has completed a hat-trick in very easy fashion.
