Minella will get backers Indo black

PREVIOUS FALL WON’T STOP HENRY’S STAR

- RYAN MCELLIGOTT

Minella indo can land the showpiece Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown today.

It is a little disappointing that this hugely valuable prize has attracted just five runners but this is still a race-high on quality.

The Henry de Bromheadtrained Minella Indo is a confident choice as he looks to bounce back from an early fall behind A Plus Tard last time.

Previously he looked a top-class staying chaser in the making as he recorded smooth wins at Wexford and Navan.

In addition, he ended last season with an excellent and perhaps somewhat unlucky second in the RSA Chase.
