De Bromhead plotting familiar route as Minella Indo confirmed for Frodon rematch

Henry de Bromhead has given the green light for Minella Indo's bid to turn the tables on Frodon in the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup on Saturday and is hoping a return to last year's route to Cheltenham glory can once again reap rewards.

Minella Indo finished fourth to Kemboy in the race last year before sealing the biggest win of his career in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, having fallen in the Savills Chase on his previous start.

Nine remained in contention for the Dublin Racing Festival's €250,000 prize following the confirmation stage on Tuesday, with sponsors Paddy Power installing Frodon, who upset Minella Indo in the Champion Chase at Down Royal in October, as 5-2 favourite alongside last year's winner Kemboy, while Minella Indo is an 11-4 shot.
