Aminabad's second to The Winkler here in March would probably be good enough but potential punters would need to ignore a very poor subsequent run at Killarney. His stable companion Bank Bonus makes his debut over fences and has to be considered with the ground in his favour, though BORIS DE BLAE looks the one to be on. Alan Fleming's charge has scored between the flags, won a bumper and landed a maiden hurdle at Listowel in September. He would have needed the run, and the experience, on his debut over fences at Killarney but showed up well and chasing should be his game. Mill Forge has changed stables since looking a nice prospect back in 2014 and has his first start over fences.
