MINELLA BEAU won a point at Lisronagh in December 2015 before joining Willie Mullins and landing a Cork bumper from today's rival Gagas Horse last month. The runner-up is entitled to get closer on the revised terms though the winner looks useful and should go on to much better things. Billy's Angel showed the benefit of a run at Tramore when scoring comfortably at Ballinrobe and will ensure the selection doesn't have everything his way.
