Cavalry Master, a bumper winner at Kilbeggan in June, was always up with the pace on his hurdling debut at Naas and only weakened on the run-in. Zenon, a dual winner on the Flat for John Gosden, never looked like getting into contention on his hurdling bow at Down Royal but will have come on a bundle for the experience. The latter's yard has two other entries. Rebellito scored twice on the Flat in France though hasn't raced for over two years while Fils Spirituel won a bumper in the French Provinces in April and is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first three foals to race. DLAURO was a very impressive winner between the flags at Belharbour in February last year which is why he went for a massive £410,000 at the sales a few days later. He showed his potential with another facile victory in a bumper here in May and looks an exciting prospect.
