Verdict

Willie Mullins' CHAPEAU DE SOLEIL showed plenty of ability in bumpers, coming home tenth in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival, and is taken to become the latest in a long line of winners to emerge from that contest now going hurdling. St Cuthbert's Cave is feared most on the back of a promising debut second for Gordon Elliott at Fairyhouse, with Prince Palace and On Lovers Walk also in the mix.
