VERDICT: Facile Vega was a top-class novice hurdler and has the potential to become a fine chaser. He met with two defeats last term, probably racing too quickly at Leopardstown and running well when second at Cheltenham, but confirmed his ability at Punchestown. Chasing has been the plan and he is exciting. Inthepocket is himself a Grade 1 winning hurdler who should also perform to a high level over fences. He defeated the selection 10 lengths when finishing second in that aforementioned Leopardstown race but was later beaten three lengths by him at Cheltenham. Facile Vega also put that Leopardstown form to bed, when comprehensively reversing placings with Il Etait Temps at Punchestown in April. Saint Felicien was a smart hurdler in 2021/22 and while he returns from a big layoff in a hot race, is just a six-year-old and can place. Sa Fureur was a Grade 3 winning hurdler but was pulled up at Cheltenham while Dreal Deal has chase experience but needs to improve.
