Willie Mullins' CHAPEAU DE SOLEIL showed plenty of ability in bumpers, coming home tenth in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival, and is taken to become the latest in a long line of winners to emerge from that contest now going hurdling. St Cuthbert's Cave is feared most on the back of a promising debut second for Gordon Elliott at Fairyhouse, with Prince Palace and On Lovers Walk also in the mix.
