FormscanBy Michael Graham - IDOLES DES JEUNES makes her Irish debut for Willie Mullins and brings strong French form to the contest. She won one of her four Flat races in her native country beating Cape Gentleman into second by three lengths. Cape Gentleman has since won the Irish Cesarewitch and at Grade 2 level over hurdles and a Grade 3 chase. Miss Fourie can put her bumper experience to good use. She switched to Gavin Cromwell and won a mares' bumper at Limerick in April by four lengths. She was then far from disgraced when unplaced in a hot Grade 3 mares' bumper at Punchestown. On her latest start, she went down by three parts of a length in a Down Royal bumper. Sheishybrid kept on for third in a big field on hurdle debut at this track which brings her into contention. Shona Mea won three times on the Flat and showed more on her third start in this sphere when runner-up at Kilbeggan. Silver Breeze and Still Ciel represent powerful stables and can have a say.
