Formscan By Gary Carson - Grade 2 bumper winner GREEN SPLENDOUR can make a winning start over timber. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding was impressive at Aintree in early April and looks a nice prospect for novice hurdles this season. He Can’t Dance was placed in a Grade 2 bumper but needs to improve from his hurdling debut, having been well beaten at Galway last month. Gordon Elliott’s runners have been coming on for their initial runs though. Champagne Kid has plenty of solid placed form and should reach the frame again here. He sets the standard off his mark of 118 but it would be disappointing if Green Splendour didn’t prove better than that level.
