After an impressive debut success when odds-on at Leopardstown in January, HIDDEN UNIVERSE went to Cheltenham for the Champion Bumper but faded after showing prominently to half-a-mile out. This is more his level and he should take care of Under The Arch, who fared nicely on his introduction behind Dynamic Approach at Thurles. One to keep an eye on here is Si C'Etait Vrai, who started odds-on for his debut between the flags at Rathcannon in February and won by no less than 25 lengths.
