Verdict

Mystique Heights won twice for Sir Mark Prescott and made a fair debut in a strong Leopardstown maiden last month while Charles Byrnes' pair, Denham Sound and Zoffanys Pride, will both improve after their runs at Limerick. HARDLINE, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, had every chance when falling at the last in the race won by the long odds-on Riven Light at Thurles. The winner has since performed with credit at Grade 1 level and Gordon Elliott's charge should gain compensation. Willie Mullins, who trains Riven Light, saddles Chateau Conti here after a couple of victories in the French Provinces so he's obviously one to keep an eye on while the selection's stable companion Canelie showed real potential on his hurdling debut at Galway but made mistakes on his next start at Gowran.
