He Can't Dance (G)
FAV
[T1]
Useful winner at 16f in bumpers. 4/1, good third of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (21.9f, soft) 27 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely has more to offer yet.

Minella Supreme (G)
[T1]
Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 8/1, below form sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

William Tell (G)
[T]
Promising type. Back from 4 months off when taking 8-runner novice hurdle at this course (22.5f, good to soft) 30 days ago, keeping on well. May well do better yet.

Reiki Revolution (G)
[HT]
Disappointed at Navan latest but had opened account over hurdles at Punchestown (20f) previously and must enter calculations here.

Alpha Zeta (M)
Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 6/1, fifth of 12 in bumper at Naas (16f, heavy) 41 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Work to do.

Jisco Du Brem (G)
Modest hurdler. Winner in bumper at Kilbeggan in June. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable eighth of 18 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Clonmel (19.4f, heavy) 18 days ago. Up against it.

Obey The Order (G)
Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 14 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Punchestown (21.9f, soft) 27 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Long Branch (G)
Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.2f, soft, 11/1) 27 days ago. Booking of Kenneally a plus. Not out of things.
