DEBUCHET, an impressive winner at Leopardstown in January, didn't run again until Cheltenham where he produced a superb effort to chase home the older Fayonagh in the Champion Bumper. Mags Mullins' grey looks a cracking prospect and he should go one better. High Tide could hardly have made a better debut than at Leopardstown last month where he looked ideally suited to the testing ground. He'll ensure the selection doesn't have things his own way while Coldamour made all for a battling victory at Thurles, with Vladakar beaten around three lengths, and both can only get better.
