Verdict

MIN looks very tough to oppose in this. He won over the C&D 12 months ago, beating some very useful yardsticks as he pleased. Injury robbed him of a potential rematch with his Supreme Novices' Hurdle conqueror Altior in the Arkle but he's back on track now. He won in good style on his reappearance and, barring an accident, should be better than these. Ball D'arc has placed in top-level company in the past and looked good last time at Naas, he's potentially next best and maintain his advantage over Ordinary World.
