Son Of Walk In The Park Not For Catching

Minella Plus (4g Walk In The Park - Violin Davis, by Turgeon) built on previous promise to justify strong market support in Saturday’s Novices’ Hurdle at Musselburgh.

Placed in both his starts in bumpers, Donald McCain’s charge finished second to a useful type on his hurdle debut earlier this month and was reunited with Brian Hughes to go on better. Making all the running, the bay held a clear advantage from three out and was pushed out on the run-in to score by six lengths.

Owned by Miss C McCracken and B Ryan-Beswick, Minella Plus was bred by Kieran Cotter.
