In depth

Verdict

Ornua, a winning point-to-pointer, will have found 2m1f too short on his hurdling bow and will have come on for the experience. Without Limites, a very easy Listed bumper winner, looked in need of the run and experience on his hurdling debut at Gowran and that should have brought him on nicely. Champagne Classic, a very easy maiden winner at Fairyhouse, couldn't cope with the well-supported Turcagua at Punchestown but that was no disgrace and there were a couple of nice performers behind. That winner is trained by Willie Mullins, who has BRAVISSIMO engaged here and the once-raced five-year-old is taken to make a successful start for the champion trainer as he has an outstanding pedigree for jumping.
