Minella Indo up and running over fences

Navan victory for Albert Bartlett winner.

Last year’s Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle hero Minella Indo stuck to his task from the front to get off the mark over fences in the Eco Friendly Cups Beginners’ Chase at Navan.

Runner-up to Laurina on his debut over the bigger obstacles, Henry de Bromhead’s seven-year-old made virtually all the running in the three-mile contest and held on despite being pressed in the closing stages.

Rachael Blackmore kept Minella Indo to the near side throughout and the 2-5 favourite jumped well in the main.

Captain Cj and First Approach made it interesting on the run-in, but Minella Indo kept on to hold the former by a length and a half. First Approach was six lengths back in third.
