FormscanBy Michael Graham - Irish Cesarewitch winner CAPE GENTLEMAN has to be taken very seriously on jumping debut. The fact that he was able to win that valuable two mile contest on attritional ground at the Curragh shows there is plenty in his locker. Afterwards, Emmet Mullins said that he was primarily bought to jump hurdles so he will know his job. He has an eye-catching entry in the Grade One novice hurdle over Christmas in Leopardstown. Homme D'un Soir stayed on well in Wexford without reaching the winner but certainly has prospects on his second start over hurdles. Testing conditions clearly suit him well as he landed his bumper by seven and a half lengths on soft to heavy ground at Gowran Park in January. In an October stable tour Gordon Elliott mentioned that he jumps very well. Petibonome was beaten into second at odds on in Clonmel but kept on and could appreciate this step up in trip.
