FormscanBy Alan Magee - BALLYBURN was a top-class novice hurdler last season and after winning easily on his debut over fences, found Sir Gino too good over 2m at Kempton. This longer trip is sure to suit, and he remains an exciting prospect. Impaire Et Passe won three times at the highest level over hurdles and has impressed in two chase outings this term including a Grade 1 success over an extended 2m3f at Limerick. A very strong triple challenge from the Willie Mullins yard is completed by Champ Kiely who overcame a lengthy layoff to win easily on his chasing debut at Fairyhouse, while Croke Park and Better Days Ahead were only separated by a head over 3m here at Christmas.
