Forecasts

Farceur Du Large (5/2), King Alex (4/1), The Priests Leap (9/2), Kalkas (5/1), Razzle Dazzle Love (11/2), Feelgood Island (12/1), Low Lie The Fields (12/1), The Little Yank (12/1), Mattie's Mountain (14/1), Norwigi (22/1), Seangoell (150/1), Tipping Away (200/1), Daicheadacuig (200/1)

Verdict

KING ALEX was progressive over hurdles last term and left his poor chase debut effort behind when fifth in a 13-runner Naas handicap on return last month. He is open to improvement in this sphere and gets the nod ahead of Farceur Du Large, who promises to be suited by this drop back in trip. Norwigi hasn't been given a hard time in her two starts over fences and is likely to do better in time.

  1. KING ALEX (FR)
  2. FARCEUR DU LARGE (FR)
  3. NORWIGI (IRE)
