Bringing three G1 hurdle wins IMPAIRE ET PASSE (6) made a seamless transition to chasing. Won a 2m3 1/2f Limerick G1 by 4L last start and holds major claims. BALLYBURN (2) was the outstanding novice hurdler of last season and provided a pleasing chasing debut. Readily outpaced tackling 2mf at Kempton so could be happier up in trip. CHAMP KIELY (4) is another with G1 hurdle winning novice form. Trained by Willie Mullins and though missing last term impressed with a victory on chasing debut at Fairyhouse (2m5 1/2f). Not to be dismissed. CROKE PARK (5) has won all three chase starts including two G1 contests. Cannot be taken lightly.
