FormscanBy Gary Carson - This looks like a nice opportunity for CIEL DE NIEGE to bounce back to winning ways. The 140-rated performer sets a high standard in this conditions contest and it looks a nice drop in class for him. The JP McManus-owned gelding was well held on his last outing at Listowel but didn't run too badly in the Galway Hurdle previously and is a very capable sort having been second in a big handicap at Punchestown in May. Mullins also saddles Authorized Art but he may be best watched returning from a long absence. I A Connect was a narrow winner of a Listowel maiden hurdle last time and looks to face a much stiffer task now against a horse with Ciel De Niege's rating.
