This trip and track will play to the strengths of MINELLA SIXO (2) following his staying-on third place finish in the G2 Jaguar Land Rover Novice Hurdle at Limerick Boxing Day. Trained by Gordon Elliott and consistent in all five outings to date remains open to progress making handicap debut. Last-time-out course and distance winner SUPREMELY WEST (1) can handle returning to these quicker conditions and is firmly in the mix off a 11lb higher rating. UNCLE BERT (3) won nicely over course and distance four weeks ago and cannot be ignored raised 4lb. KILBARRY HILL (12) finished runner-up that day and is weighted to go close once more.
