Leading novice last season winning the Ballymore at the Cheltenham Festival and still going well when coming down three out in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle. The plan is the Champion Hurdle at the festival this year and he should win this easily.
Scottish Raider who is very consistent. Comfortably won a Grade 3 at Tipperary last month. Needs to up his game to challenge Samcro but should run his race.
Won the very valuable Galway Hurdle earlier in the summer but has disappointed a couple of times since on the flat. This is much more his game and the most likely to give Samcro a race.
Won the last time he ran over hurdles in a weak handicap. Disappointed over fences since and right up against it here.
Forecasts
Samcro (4/9), Sharjah (5/2), Bedrock (12/1), Schmidt (100/1)
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.
