Several possibilities here. MINELLA HOLLOW was useful in bumpers and might be worth siding with. Royal Approval achieved enough on the Flat in Britain for Andrew Balding to think he could make an impact now hurdling for Gordon Elliott. Hillhead Runner and the improving Powerful look best of those with hurdle experience.

  1. MINELLA HOLLOW (IRE)
  2. ROYAL APPROVAL (IRE)
  3. HILLHEAD RUNNER (IRE)
