Min-mania could be set to return

This week the entries for Leopardstown at Christmas were unveiled and one of the more interesting races promise to be the Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase on St Stephen’s Day.

It is a contest that has attracted 31 possibilities, but even from this range most punters will already have it narrowed down to just two, Identity Thief and Min.

We really need them to meet, barring injury there seems no good reason why they won’t, and it will very much reveal which one of ours has the best chance of beating current Cheltenham Arkle favourite, Altior.
