Ciel D'afrique is a half-sister to five winners and by Sea The Stars. She’ll increase her paddocks value if she can get her head in front and only found one too good at Fairyhouse on her second start. Dermot Weld’s filly looks the pick of the three-year-olds but could find life tough against some talented older horses. Thosedaysaregone won a handicap hurdle on yielding ground in February but has only made the frame once in four attempts on the Flat. Willie Mullins could hold the upper hand as he runs My Sister Sarah, a three-times winner over hurdles, and MT LEINSTER. The latter, a useful bumper who won a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown on St Stephen’s Day, has scope to do well in this sphere and is the choice of Patrick.
