'I can see him jumping these into submission under an aggressive ride'

Minella Indo is back at Down Royal (2.50). Are you with him or against him?

David Bass, jockey With him. It's great to see an Irish Grade 1 with female jockeys riding the favourite and second favourite. I was impressed with Minella Indo in the Gold Cup and this is a good opportunity for him on his first run of the season. On ratings he's ahead and he should win.

Andrew Cooper, Spotlight I'm with him. He quickly left behind a racefit rival from the Gordon Elliott yard on last season’s return, and while Galvin, who looked good at Punchestown 17 days ago, will be a tougher nut to crack, the Gold Cup winner should be supported. Frodon adds spice to an interesting race.

Owen Goulding, MyracingHe'll be a short price but I'm with him. He's 8lb clear on ratings and he made a winning return last season against a handful of rivals. Any rain will certainly not be against him and, reunited with Rachael Blackmore, his regular partner before Cheltenham, it would be disappointing if he didn't win this.
