Verdict

BON VIVEUR showed ability when third in a Navan bumper earlier in the year and might prove up to making a winning start to his hurdle career for Willie Mullins. Khmer was in contention when falling at the last on his Fairyhouse hurdle debut earlier in the month and is feared most ahead of Limerick runner-up How's The Head.
