Forecasts

King Alex (5/4), Enjoy D'allen (7/2), Fully Charged (5/1), Key Commander (8/1), Bois De Clamart (12/1), Lean Araig (16/1), Agent Boru (16/1), Oscar Academy (20/1), Uaintseenothingyet (20/1), The Dabbler (25/1), Moratorium (50/1)

KING ALEX failed to make much of an impact in a couple of runs over fences during his 2018/19 campaign, but he is every inch an improved model this season, winning 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles. Granted a good round of jumping back in this sphere, he'll prove a tough nut to crack. Key Commander opened his chase account at Thurles last month and is feared most ahead of Enjoy D'allen.
