Forecasts

Jacks Last Hope (8/11), Blue Comet (6/4), Fly Rory Fly (12/1), Cherif De L'Isle (14/1)

Fergal O'Brien is notorious for his successful raids north to Perth (23 from 81; 28% - prior to this two-day fixture), so the four-timer seeking Blue Comet is a notable chasing debutante. However, on hurdle ratings, he has a few pounds to find with JACKS LAST HOPE who also has that all important previous chasing experience and will be untroubled by the forecast good ground underfoot.
