© 2020 At The Races. All Rights Reserved. TIMEFORM VIEW: A strong renewal featuring the last two winners of the race but MINELLA INDO is a young chaser going places and can register a first Grade 1 win over fences. He's already proven his well-being with comfortable victories both starts this term and the likelihood is there is more to come on the back of just 5 chase starts. Last year's winner Delta Work, Presenting Percy and Kemboy head the dangers.
