Forecasts

Letsbeclearaboutit (5/4), Found A Fifty (11/4), Sharjah (11/4), I Am Maximus (11/1), Perceval Legallois (28/1)

LETSBECLEARABOUTIT created an excellent impression when making it 2 from 2 over fences in a Grade 3 at Cork and can complete the hat-trick. Sharjah s doing plenty to justify his late-career switch to chasing and is feared most ahead of Found A Fifty, who looked a natural over fences when making a winning debut in this sphere at Down Royal on his return.
