CAUSE OF CAUSES, a minor winner on the Flat in France, was well supported on his hurdling debut here last month and had just been headed when falling at the last. That should have brought him on and this looks no tougher. Don Leone, a winner over 1m6f on the Flat, looks a real staying type and in need of further than this when battling on over the C&D on his hurdling debut. Pageboy ran just three times on the level, showing promise in maidens at Leopardstown in the summer. He's by Galileo and can do well over timber while Gentleman Duke hasn't been disgraced in three strong maidens and looks certain to get involved.
