FormscanBy Michael Graham - The 130-rated KING'S BUCKS sets the standard. He was pulled up on his latest start, but that was in a Grade 1 at the Cheltenham Festival and it is well worth noting that he was placed in a Grade 2 novices' hurdle at Cheltenham in November. He is a former winner of a soft-ground point-to-point. He Can't Dance has been placed in his last six hurdle races including in a valuable handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival, so wouldn't be winning out of turn. The market ought to be revealing about Casual Water, who makes his debut for Willie Mullins, as he is a half-brother to the former top-class chaser Altior.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at startingWeights - 4-y-o 10st 13lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
