MINELLA INDO was a big price when winning the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham, but there was no fluke at all about his success, and he is taken to confirm form with third-placed Allaho., who had beaten him at Clonmel in February. Commander of Fleet split that pair at Cheltenham, and should again have a say in the outcome.
