CIEL DE NEIGE should strip fitter for his recent run at Fairyhouse earlier in the month and may well have too much for his inferior rivals. The Authorized gelding finished a promising third of 21 beaten 3¾L in the Grade 3 'Fred Winter' at the Cheltenham festival in March on his debut over hurdles. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Argumental can build on his fourth of 18 beaten 3¼L on encouraging maiden hurdle debut at Thurles last month and can emerge as the biggest danger while Capilano Bridge for trainer Conor O'Dwyer and Coolbane Boy can compete for minor honours. The former Nicky Henderson-trained Twist could go well at a big price.
