MINELLA COCOONER shaped really well when runner-up to stablemate The Nice Guy in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival, arguably making his effort earlier than ideal, which provides plenty of hope that he can reverse the form. Minella Crooner and Journey With Me are others to view positively in a good renewal of this Grade 1.
