Form & Verdict
Cost 40,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to French hurdle/chase winners Idylle Des Mottes and Honda Des Mottes; dam fell in a hurdle race on only start; cracking debut effort for Stuart Crawford when a 50-1 shot in valuable Goffs Bumper at the Punchestown Festival, plenty green but staying on strongly into second, winner having got first run; interesting hurdles debutant now for new yard.

Verdict

French bumper winner Kirsca De Thaix will be popular here for Willie Mullins but it could pay to take a chance on YESHIL, switched to Henry de Bromhead following a fine debut run in the Goffs Bumper. Firebrand and Paul Collins appeal most of those with hurdling experience, although Le Bugiste should be capable of considerably better than he showed at Gowran recently. [Alan Hewison]
