Verdict
Mister Pink had to buckle down to land the odds in a Ballinrobe bumper but the form has worked out quite well and Willie Mullins' charge will be much better suited by this test. Joyeux Vivo looked in need of a much greater test of stamina when placed in a huge field of bumpers here back in April which he's certain to get that here, though POUR LES FILLES could be the one to beat. Gordon Elliott's charge, a winner between the flags, landed a Leopardstown bumper before a fine run in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree and looks a very nice prospect. Antrim Coast made a very positive start over hurdles at Navan last month while Morph Speed should improve massively for his opening run over timber at Killarney.
