Forecasts

You Say Nothing (7/2), Take All (6/1), Pairc Na Ngael (6/1), Karawaan (6/1), Krickett (7/1), Rocconrockall (8/1), Crimson Chief (9/1), Arctic Light (11/1), Time To Bite (12/1), Digger Jack (16/1), Port Rashid (20/1), Wade Harper (25/1), Cappacurry Zak (40/1), Its All Grace (40/1), Glen Robin (50/1), Galypso Clermont (50/1), Rightback Atya (50/1), Anakar (66/1), Celtic Dancer (80/1)

YOU SAY NOTHING looked likely to win when falling two out at Fairyhouse last time so there's every chance he can take this off only 2 lb higher, particularly with further progress likely. Arctic Light came down when well backed over fences in August and will be a threat if the money comes again now back hurdling. Karawaan's Flat ability provides him with the potential for better in handicaps.
