Forecasts

Unexcepted (11/4), Cilaos Emery (3/1), Easy Game (4/1), Daly Tiger (5/1), Samcro (6/1), Peregrine Run (8/1), Foxy Jacks (11/1), Robin Des Foret (12/1)

Verdict

SAMCRO is taken to get back on track. Last season was a write-off and all clearly wasn't right with him in the Ryanair, but he's a dual Cheltenham Festival winner taking a big drop in grade here and looks worth chancing. This is a deeper renewal than the races Peregrine Run has won for the last 2 years but he's impossible to ignore after a fine run at Punchestown. Cilaos Emery is also respected.
