PASSAGE VENDOME was beaten out of sight on his first two bumper starts but it was a different matter when he came here in August as he beat what looked a decent field in good style. He looks a real jumping type so did well to win in that sphere and can make a successful start over timber. Boxer Beat won't go down without a fight but he's still a maiden after 23 career starts and hasn't been seen since September. Killdunne has shown a bit of promise though will need to step up a gear here but Dearest Girl ran a tremendous race behind Galianna at Navan a couple of weeks ago and further progress will see her in the mix.
