Forecasts

Whats New (2/1), Sharu (11/4), First Ascent (3/1), World As One (11/2), Lady Felicia (11/1), No Mon No Fun (18/1), Phyllis Rodda (25/1), Alfinthesea (33/1), Minnatrix (40/1), Rumi Rock (50/1), Kilmond Knight (125/1), Breezingwithdstars (200/1), Middlethird Marvel (300/1)

Verdict

WORLD AS ONE should be wiser with his recent Roscommon hurdle debut behind him and can strike for Willie Mullins. Sharu has shown a quirky side but his latest Kilbeggan second shows he can make an impact in these races and Darragh O'Keeffe takes the reins on him for the first time now. Whats New and First Ascent are others likely to get involved.

  1. WORLD AS ONE (GER)
  2. SHARU (IRE)
  3. WHATS NEW (IRE)
