FormscanBy Mark Nunan - YOU CAN CALL ME AL has done very little wrong in three starts over hurdles, and can put his experience to good use here. Edward O’Grady’s charge has twice run well at Naas, particularly when third to Embittered and Blackbow in November, and his fifth at Navan last time has been endorsed with the third in that race winning easily at Down Royal on Thursday. Willie Mullins runs two hurdling debutants with General Counsel possibly the pick after going close against the smart Sneaky Getaway in a bumper at Cork in April. Stablemate Hybery won a National Hunt Flat Race at Pau a year ago. Jason The Militant was third to Envoi Allen in his only bumper start last year and made a good start over flights when second at Fairyhouse last month, albeit that form has taken a couple of knocks this week, while Ennemi Public will need to improve a good bit on his third at Clonmel to take this.
