Verdict

MINELLA PLUS is a half-brother to a winning hurdler who placed in bumpers. He had one run in a point in the spring and can make a winning start under Rules. Paddy Husseys Taxi is an interesting newcomer for Neil Mulholland in what looks a modest affair while Strensham Court travelled strongly for a long way when third here in June and has the benefit of experience.
