Forecasts

Zarak The Brave (4/6), Charlie Luciano (10/3), Mister Wilson (4/1), Rightsotom (10/1), Calico (14/1), Gig Harbor (16/1), Puntastic (25/1), Thetys (25/1), Bestaline (33/1), Scarbrook (40/1), Crafty Gael (80/1), Grizabella (80/1), Our Dickie (125/1), Expound (125/1), Kodis Well (250/1), Carrickfinn (300/1)

ZARAK THE BRAVE showed plenty of ability on the Flat in France and he is of strong interest now switched to hurdles for the Willie Mullins yard. Charlie Luciano should pick up a race before long and is clear choice ahead of the Gordon Elliott trained duo, Calico and Bestaline.
