Buy Back Bob's close third to Rebel Fitz at Cork in August was a very good effort and he probably found soft ground against him on his only subsequent start over hurdles. Centurian has done well in bumpers despite not winning and his pedigree is all about jumping. Ridayef has produced one very good run on fast ground at Clonmel and all other starts have been on much softer going. Regal One made a very promising debut over hurdles at Clonmel where he may have won but for a mistake at the last. There's more to come from him but this looks another for Willie Mullins via PASSAGE VENDOME. A winning bumper of fast ground at Tramore, he's done well enough in both starts over hurdles to suggest he'll be winning soon and his trainer looks to have found the right opportunity.
