Minella Indo jumps big and plenty of air between him and the birch ,you dont win championship races jumping that big.
That said he is improving and trained by a master.

That really didn't warrant a price cut for Minella Indo.
I actually thought he looked beat in the straight.
If you have backed him for the RSA then you will be hoping that the better ground will be a huge plus and he can do something to sharpen up his jumping. Everyone bangs on about De Bromhead's horses jumping well but Paloma Blue was arguably his best prospect going into last season and he was an absolute disaster. Minella Indo doesn't really look like he is going to fall but at the moment he would consistently lose ground to a good jumper. He also seems very slow away from his obstacles. That will surely tell in an RSA.Comment

Straight to Cheltenham for Minella IndoComment

Has that been said?Originally posted by Vautour View Post
He's a horse I really like, and would be one of my biggest winners, but I wasn't overly impressed by today. Slow at a couple, low at one or two and dived left at the last.
It's onwards to the next but I'd have preferred them to run him again before Cheltenham. Not sure how any bookmaker could cut him. I'd have pushed him out a point or two.Comment

I thought I remember reading Minello Indo needs a couple runs into him before the comes on..Strange that they are now going to festival from here, suppose just over 7 weeks to go!!Originally posted by Vautour View Post
Skybet seem.to be biggest price at 13/2 and they are nrnb of anyone wants to top up! Dunno how hills can cut to as short as 5s.Comment

Yeah it’s in the racing post quotes. He only had two runs last year pre Cheltenham but the second was in Feb.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View PostComment

Does anyone have the post race comments from Henry please about Minella Indo.Comment

Got it cheers
De Bromhead said: “I’m delighted with that and it was nice to see him tough it out. Rachael said he took a little blow after the second-last and hopefully he should improve for it.
“I’m delighted to have it out of the way and as soon as we scratched from Leopardstown (at Christmas) this race was the plan. I wanted give him a test over three miles as he needs it. He is so laid-back at home and has done a lot of work since Gowran and still he’d give you the fright there between the last two (fences).
“It was nice to see him get stuck in after the last and go on and stay on at it – I thought he was good.
“It’s job done and he’ll go straight to Cheltenham for the RSA Chase next. He won’t be entered in the National Hunt Chase.”Comment
