MINELLA HOLLOW 2/5
MINELLA HOLLOW at 2/5, John Nallen and Harry Skelton, is the one I would side with. He drops in grade after running 3rd in a Class 1, beaten 10.5L, drops to Class 3, handles the ground, with a win from 1 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The main danger is VENEZUELAN at 9/1 (staying on last time).
