FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A former bumper winner, the Gordon Elliott-trained WILLIAM BUTLER can register a first success over flights. Already placed twice from four starts over hurdles, the gelding has the experience to take a race of this nature. Fitted with first-time blinkers here, the five-year-old is likely to be ridden prominently around a tight track that suits such tactics. Having run his best race over hurdles to date when stepped up to this trip at Cork last time, the Philip Rothwell-trained Reiki Revolution should be a serious threat. A proven stayer, who had the speed to win a bumper, the Wings Of Eagles gelding won't be far away. Hurdling newcomer North Moon has to be respected for trainer Willie Mullins.
