Highly promising individual who made it 3-3 in this sphere in 10-runner Ballymore Novices' Hurdle (Baring Bingham) at Cheltenham (21f, soft, 5/2) 44 days ago by 6½ lengths from Gaelic Warrior, scoring impressively. Will take some stopping.

Forecasts

Impaire Et Passe (1/3), Champ Kiely (7/2), High Definition (12/1), Inothewayurthinkin (20/1), Amir Kabir (50/1), Thecompanysergeant (50/1)

18:00 Punchestown - 28 April 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Impressive Ballymore Hurdle scorer IMPAIRE ET PASSE remains unbeaten over hurdles and looks the way to go here with Willie Mullins' most exciting prospect holding much the best form on show with the prospect of even better to come. Stablemate Champ Kiely came home third there at Cheltenham so could emerge as the chief threat ahead of improving duo Amir Kabir and Thecompanysergeant.
