FormscanBy Alan Magee - Kilbeggan bumper winner SPREAD BOSS TED was off the course for over a year before switching to hurdles and showed improved form on his second outing this term when beating Teuchters Glory at Navan. The selection kept on well up the closing hill and should be effective over this extra half-mile. Binge Worthy looks the obvious threat. He was bought for 160,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point for Denis Murphy last spring and opened his account under Rules on his hurdle debut in a 2m Limerick maiden last month. He’s bred to appreciate this extra distance. Glen Kiln has shown some promise over a variety of trips including over 3m at Cork last time, while Just Three has plenty of jumping experience and should be competitive in handicaps.
