Verdict

WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER shaped well from an unpromising position in the Grade 2 Nickel Coin at Aintree on her most recent bumper outing, so she's of strong interest now switched to hurdles in what looks a winnable race. Smooth Player proved a let-down when turned over at short odds at Tramore last time, but was possibly unsuited by the drop back in trip and is a big player on his previous form. The selection's stablemate Pure Notions is clearly thought capable of better and shouldn't be overlooked.
