DE BON COEUR is unbeaten in six starts, most of them in a canter and is already a Grade 1 winner. She has the fillies' allowance here and looks set for victory number seven. Prince Ali was a long way behind her here in November and was sent chasing but he's reverted to hurdles in excellent form and improved enough to land a Grade 3 last month. Bapaume finished an excellent third in the Triumph Hurdle before landing the Champion Four-Year-Old Hurdle at Punchestown. He's a high-class young hurdler who won't go down without a battle and should again beat stable companion Dandy Mag, who was a long way behind at Punchestown but has since won easily at Ballinrobe.
