Tornado Watch would have reasonable claims based upon both his form in Ireland, and his recent second at Cartmel, but the worry must be that this longer trip could prove troublesome. Flying Jack and Notnowsam clashed over C&D last month, with the Maurice Barnes trained horse showing improved form to get off the mark at the 15th attempt. However, that race wasn't the strongest of contests, and with no strong preference for a selection, the tentative vote goes to MINELLA REBELLION. He was basically disappointing in novice company last term, but he's not fully exposed in handicaps, and the fact that he actually remains in the care of Nicky Henderson hopefully implies that much stronger showings are a distinct possibility this term.
