Minnie Hauk

Yeah, you've got to start with the favourite, haven't you? Defending champion, drawn well.

I just looked at the arc from last year and Minnie Hawk was on a good run in them.

Hasn't done a whole lot since.

Might be that that is what sort of finished her off.

But I'm not that gone on anything.

I don't think the three-year-olds are good at all.

I can't believe Wright Moore is on Benvenuto Cellini rather than Minnie Hawk, even though she's in 10th.

I was wondering what was...

So again, she has loads in her favor.

But I think the other thing that this tells us is that maybe Ballydial aren't too confident about their other two strings, Benvenuto Cellini and Minnie Hawk.

Benvenuto Cellini, you can back him at 20 to 1.

Yes, he disappointed.

If he reproduces his arc run or his King George run from earlier in the year, he's got a squeak.

But clearly the vibes aren't great about him.

And the same could be said for Minnie Hawk, who I see in an interview recently.

Aidan said has been suffering with corns on her feet during the year.

And I do think he had a tendency to hit the front too soon.

As we saw last year, like Minnie Hawk, some people thought Minnie Hawk hit the front too soon.

I do think, I remember when Frankie was going for the three with Enable, I think he went too soon on her as well.

So, you know, Darius came late last year.

So it's interesting.

But I do think, yeah, I mean, Darius won it so well last year.

And again, you wouldn't have thought Minnie Hawk, if she runs again, could possibly be 20 to 1 this year going on her form last year.

So I don't know whether she was affected by any of those viruses in Ballytoil this year because she's very been up and down in her form.
