Formscan By Alan Magee - WILLIAM TELL has progressed with each run over hurdles and followed up a Cork maiden win by scoring over course and distance last month. That form has received a couple of boosts since and the Harry Kelly-trained gelding gets the vote to complete a hat-trick. He Can’t Dance was a useful sort in bumpers last season and has been placed on both outings since sent over hurdles this term including behind Champagne Kid over a similar trip at Punchestown last time. Minella Supreme and Reiki Revolution, who struggled on heavy ground last time, have both won maiden hurdles while Some Song was a very fortunate winner at Down Royal.
