CHAPEAU DE SOLEIL joined Willie Mullins after scoring between the flags and finished runner-up to subsequent hurdles winner Better Days Ahead on his bumper debut before a fair effort in the championship bumper at Cheltenham. He will need further in time but this looks a nice start. Noble Talent was not right when pulling up here last time while dual point-to-point winner On Lovers Walk ran well over the minimum here last month and will be much better suited by this trip. Prince Palace was a 250/1 chance when runner-up over this trip at Naas where he where he was always in touch and stayed on strongly. St Cuthbert‘s Cave won a Kelso bumper for Rose Dobbin and attempted to make all on his hurdling debut for Gordon Elliott but jumped moderately. He will have come on for the run while Martin Brassil and Derek O‘Connor looks a formidable combination and Great Universe, who won a bumper here by 25 lengths, has to be respected. Secrecies Of Stone found 2m7f just too far at Thurles and Barry O‘Neill is a very positive booking.
