FormscanBy Mark Nunan - BALLYWILLIAM BOY ran well in a valuable handicap at this course earlier in the month and might fare better over this shorter distance. Michael Hourigan’s six-year-old has won twice over intermediate trips and faded a little up the hill over 3m last time but still finished a very creditable third in a competitive field. Aldo The Apache is a rapid improver and was a decisive winner of a similar contest at Naas last month. He has to defy an 11lb hike but may well progress again. Wolf Prince won a three-horse race at Punchestown which has worked out to be strong form and he makes the shortlist along with the lightly-weighted Futurum Regem who bolted up in lesser company at this venue on his latest start over hurdles.%0A
