IMPAIRE ET PASSE was one of the most impressive winners at Cheltenham when landing the Ballymore, with stablemate Champ Kiely over seven lengths behind, and should remain unbeaten as this longer trip should be even more to his liking. High Definition, who is rated 112 on the Flat and made a winning hurdling debut at Leopardstown in December, ran well behind Marine Nationale in the Supreme Novices' and can get involved if the ground dries out. Inothewayurthinkin looked one to follow when winning his first two races but was nine lengths behind Champ Kiely in a Naas Grade 1 but Thecompanysergeant was only a head behind Bialystokin in a Naas maiden in February and the winner scored here on Tuesday.
