He Can't Dance (5/2), William Tell (4/1), Some Song (4/1), Long Branch (6/1), Obey The Order (6/1), Reiki Revolution (7/1), Minella Supreme (22/1), Jisco Du Brem (40/1), Alpha Zeta (66/1)

Verdict

WILLIAM TELL upped his game when scoring here last month and remains low mileage. He can follow up. Reiki Revolution and He Can't Dance may provide the chief threat.

  1. WILLIAM TELL (IRE)
  2. REIKI REVOLUTION (IRE)
  3. HE CAN'T DANCE (IRE)
