Minella can be Mullins' title winner

- By The Scout (Melissa Jones)

MINELLA COCOONER (4.10) is fancied to sprout wings and retain the bet365 Gold Cup for title-seeking trainer Willie Mullins.

The Irishman's battle with Dan Skelton has been the big talking point in recent weeks and it will be won or lost at Sandown today.

Mullins means business by saddling 10 of the 20 runners, including Paul Townend's pick High Class Hero and Grand National hope Grangecleare West.

The latter's presence puts a lot of horses out of the handicap, but it ensures Minella Cocooner has significantly less weight than he might have.
