Verdict

Willie Mullins has won two of the four renewals and PASSAGE VENDOME should make it three. A winning bumper on fast ground, he was probably a bit unfortunate to be beaten on his hurdling bow at Tramore as he was given plenty to do and Emmet Mullins won't make the same mistake this time. Celestial Prospect ran really well behind Saint Gervais at Clonmel and normal progress will see him in the shake-up but Noble Pageant may not appreciate returning to the minimum trip and some of these are likely to prove too quick for him. The consistent bumper Six Stone Ned makes his hurdling debut and is one to keep an eye on.
