Verdict

Having finished third to Vauban and Fil Dor in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown on debut for Willie Mullins back in February, IL ETAIT TEMPS is a confident selection to open his account sporting a first-time hood in much calmer waters than previously today. Ideal de Ciergues showed fair form in a brace of bumpers back in the spring so he's put forward as the main danger on hurdling debut, with Nucky Johnson and Helisone another couple to consider.

  1. IL ETAIT TEMPS (FR)
  2. IDEAL DE CIERGUES (FR)
  3. NUCKY JOHNSON (IRE)
