FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - The fact that he's very talented and promising is not in doubt, but playing Minella Indo at skimpy odds off the back of a fall mightn't be the smartest course of action. Given the camera angle in question at the fence away from the stands, it's difficult to be sure as to what happened with Minella Indo in Savills Chase. What's not in doubt though, looking at the footage, is that it was a 'sore' looking tumble, possibly the type he may not forget in a hurry. On the other side of the coin, plenty will justifiably put their trust in Henry de Bromhead having him back at concert pitch now. For a selection KEMBOY is taken to again better his stable companion Melon, after second and third place finishes for the pair in the Savills.
