I Started A Joke (11/4), He Can't Dance (3/1), Green Splendour (4/1), Colcannon (9/2), Sortudo (13/2), Classical Creek (8/1), Koktail Brut (14/1), Friary Road (40/1), Good Deal (50/1), Coolberrin Hill (100/1)
Usually a bumper that produces stars and HE CAN'T DANCE could be the way to go after his runaway success at Navan. Willie Mullins sends out Green Splendour, who won the C&D bumper Facile Vega did before taking this in 2022, and he has obvious claims. I Started A Joke looked to be learning on the job when scoring at Limerick and has to be considered also with Sortudo.
