FormscanBy Alan Magee - THE PASSING WIFE hails from a yard returning to form and was a smart sort in bumpers winning three times. The selection has taken well to hurdles this term notably finishing best of all when third to Koktail Brut in the Grade 2 Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse. He was soundly beaten in a Grade 1 last time but will appreciate this drop in class and should be suited by the step up in trip. Doctor Du Mesnil impressed when beating Thedeviluno by 11 lengths on debut in a Cork bumper last April and was narrowly denied when switched to hurdles at Leopardstown last month. Springhill Warrior had Atlantic Gamble over 20 lengths behind when second here last time.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards colts and geldings only, maidens at starting
Weights - 4-y-o 10st 13lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs.
