    The Paul Nicholls stable tour is classic

    'big baby, anything he does this year is a bonus'

    'will jump a fence in future, one for down the road'

    Positive bulletin on Min

    "Min is in great order and has come back much stronger than he has ever been," Mullins said. "He will start off in autumn at two-mile senior chasing."

    Min is one to really look forward too

    His last Leopardstown run was one of those novice performances that made me think very very impressive

    I'm rather hoping Min goes down the Ryanair route this season, and that Great Field is unleashed at the Graded 2m chases (will reserve judgement on Douvan until there is some sort of positive bulletin about his well-being).

    The way that Great Field runs, I can't see him getting much further than 2m, whereas Min strikes me as one that will be perfect for the intermediate trip.

    Very good point Nick

    Granted there is every chance that Great Field will have blown his brains out or ended up stuck in a fence by then but think 2m would be his best trip

    Mn could even be a surprise 3m horse this year

    They won't have a 17 year jock who can't pull him up on board this year either
