I'v had a good look through this race to try and find some value and think If he runs Fosters Cross has a big chance at 40/1 with tote sport NRNB as short as 16/1 with boyle sports
It's still in the blance if he is even aimed at this race and at present trades shorter for the Grand Annual but If you take a look through his form It's all there to back up a big run, If you go back to October he gave Hidden Universe a battering over 2 miles on the flat. Since then he's ran well without really being competitive on soft ground that he doesn't want. One of those runs was in the MCR hurdle which was clocked at a good time, the winner Final Approach figures strongly in the betting. Quite interesting that Thousand Stars finished down the field in the same race last year and then went on to win this, so it seems the MCR is a very good guide. Foster cross now only has to give Final Approach 1lb instead of the 12lbs he had to hand to him back in Ireland.
