Passage looks the Rite choice in Bumper

RITE Of Passage, down in class, gets the nap to win the Rockview Irish National Hunt Bumper at the Curragh this afternoon.

Dermot Weld’s five-year-old was a major ante-post gamble to land the Weatherbys’ Champion Bumper at Cheltenham, but could only manage third behind Dunguib and Some Present.

It was still, however, a cracking effort by the Giant’s Causeway gelding, with the form of that contest working out particularly well.
