The well-touted VITORIO PIEL destroyed a big field first time up in a bumper here in the spring and looks a cracking prospect. He can make a successful switch to hurdles, perhaps the chief expense of another jumper to follow in Gameball, who also left his rivals in his wake in his bumper at Ballinrobe, and has since joined Henry de Bromhead.
