Forecasts

All Class (6/4), Nelly's Money (3/1), That's Lifebuoy (3/1), Sil Ver Klass (7/2), Presented Well (13/2), Ujumpthelastuwin (8/1), Espion Du Chenet (17/2), Western Sea (18/1), Castlebrook (20/1), One Down (28/1)

Cases can be made for several of these, but ALL CLASS boasts the most persuasive claims on the back of easy victories in this sphere at Punchestown in November and over hurdles at Navan the following month. There should be more to come from this 7-y-o. Sil Ver Klass and That's Lifebuoy were both successful last time, but All Class may have most to fear from Nelly's Money and Ujumpthelastuwin.
