Topweight will prove different class if breathing operation has worked
No. 1
Minella For Me
2.25 Southwell
2pts win at 3-1 generallyMinella For Me has been on my radar for a while as he routinely jumps and travels like a horse much better than his mark but doesn't seem to find much at the end of his races.
He traded at 1.6 when beaten 17 lengths at Leicester in December and 2.1 despite finishing only sixth of nine last time, but he returns from a seven-week break following a wind operation and if that proves the key I think he'll win easily.
It might just be the case that he is a weak finisher, but I think he's well worth a chance dropping in grade because he'll be much better than this level if the operation has worked.
