SAMCRO is likely to go off at a prohibitive price for backers but nonetheless this should be an interesting contest. The gelding was found to ill last season and was forced to miss Cheltenham. Expect him to be on top of his game here and will be very hard to beat if taking to the larger obstacles. Stablemate Dortmund Park was also a classy hurdler and another who had problems last season. If returning to his best form he should give the selection most to do.
