DOCTOR DU MESNIL shaped really well when runner-up in a big-field Leopardstown novice on his first run over hurdles and can take a sizeable step forward now to thwart form pick The Passing Wife who rates a big threat in these calmer waters. Springhill Warrior has better days ahead of him and is no forlorn hope either in this intriguing maiden.
