A huge field but all eyes will be on IMPAIRE ET PASSE. He was bought for €155,000 after landing a bumper at Nancy in March and has an entry in the Grade 1 Future Champions Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown later this month. Firm Footings, a winning bumper, was up with the pace throughout over 2m4f here last month but just couldn't hold Grangeclare West and will be ideally suited by dropping down. Star Harbour was placed in the Irish Cambridgeshire and is interesting on his hurdling bow while Cadatharia is one for the future.
