Forecasts

Noble Yeats (11/8), Grady Hollow (15/8), Blazing Khal (7/2), Fourneux D'isanka (7/2), Justbeyondthemoon (13/2), Meet And Greet (12/1), Rochestown (16/1), Tipping Away (40/1), Over Milk Wood (100/1), Champagne Rebel (250/1)

GRADY HOLLOW made his second point start a winning one in October and representing an in-form yard, he makes plenty of appeal. Fourneux D'isanka and Blazing Khal are likely to give their running.
