VIGIL will be a short price here and it isn't difficult to see why. A close fifth in the 2014 championship bumper at Cheltenham, he then beat Bellshill at Leopardstown before again finishing fifth at Cheltenham a year ago. He started odds-on for his hurdling debut at Leopardstown but could only finish third, though both winner and second have won easily subsequently. Coeur Joyeux was beaten a couple of lengths by Timing'severything in a Punchestown bumper in April but was well beaten on his hurdling debut. The latter made a fine start over timber at Tipperary and started long odds-on at Wexford but pulled up and was found to be coughing post-race.
