The Ian Williams yard has a few chances on today’s card and run CARDANO in this. The five-year-old is having a first run over hurdles but has won six times on the level and has been in very good form lately. Cirque Royal followed up a second at Perth with another at Gowran and should be thereabouts again but Mister Watson may be running out of chances. Top Bandit wasn’t beaten far at Limerick on his hurdles bow and John Locke has his sights lowered after two runs in top company in the spring. Go Dante easily won a Wincanton bumper in march and could be anything.
