Forecasts

Sharjah (4/6), Sole Pretender (7/1), Tekao (15/2), Icare Allen (11/1), Visionarian (12/1), Cash Back (14/1), Fils D'oudairies (18/1), Da Capo Glory (25/1), Shanroe (25/1), Jeff Kidder (33/1), Effernock Fizz (33/1), Magic Tricks (66/1), A Wave Of The Sea (125/1), Enfranchise (200/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins's very smart SHARJAH is favoured by these weights so is very hard to oppose despite a rare below-par effort when fourth in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle last time. 2021 victor Sole Pretender appeals most of the rest with Ballinrobe runner-up Cash Back and C&D winner Shanroe set to fight it out for minor honours.
