Forecasts

Samcro (4/9), Sharjah (5/2), Bedrock (12/1), Schmidt (100/1)

Verdict

The should be fairly straight forward for SAMCRO who has the world at his feet. Connections confirmed this week he will be aimed at the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival this season and this looks a good starting point. Sharjah is next best should Samcro not perform.
