FormscanBy Michael Graham - NADIA'S BOY (3) can build upon an opening third over fences when racing over a shorter trip at this track in June. That performance was endorsed when the winner subsequently finished third in a Grade 3 novices' chase at the Galway Festival. The lightly-raced six-year-old gelding already has a point-to-point, a bumper and a maiden hurdle in his locker. William Tell will be a tough nut to crack, though. He was half a length in front of Nadia's Boy in second in that aforementioned race here and is 7lb better off in this contest. His next couple of outings didn't go to plan, but he has to rate a major threat. Scalpnagoon is picking up cheques and paying his way over a multitude of trips.
