Verdict
MINELLA WARRIOR makes his hurdling debut following a lengthy lay-off but he was only beaten two lengths by the top-class Kalashnikov in a Wetherby bumper last year and might be the one to beat if fully wound-up. Blue N Yellow hasn’t raced since landing an ordinary Worcester bumper last July on his racecourse debut while Clondaw Anchor is having a first run under Rules having finished second in a Boulta point in November. Sammylou and Scottshill were both well beaten in a maiden here last month but the better going should three-times Flat winner Primogeniture.
