Henry de Bromhead has Minella Indo “in great form” as the Cheltenham Gold Cup hero bids to get his career back on track at Leopardstown on Saturday.
The son of Beat Hollow has met with defeat on both starts since his defeat of stablemate A Plus Tard at Cheltenham last March – including when pulled up in the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day.
But the Co Waterford handler is confident Minella Indo can show his true colours when he locks horns with defending champion Kemboy and three-time Grade 1 victor Frodon in the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup.
