Verdict
Though a beaten favourite in a Uttoxeter bumper on his debut under Rules, MINELLA DOUBLE has won between the flags and, with his stable in cracking form, can make a winning start over hurdles. Mumford's Magic and Poetry Man both have hurdling experience but require improvement and Dangan Cloud has more scope having a first run under Rules. Edgewell could also play a part.
