Forecasts

Malina Girl (10/3), Drumcliff (5/1), Ballyadam Destiny (6/1), Stormey (15/2), Goodnightngodbless (15/2), It Could Be You (10/1), Fangio De Vassy (10/1), Nuttorridge (11/1), Father Jed (12/1), Abraham (12/1), Hoke Colburn (14/1), Twilight Girl (14/1), Cluan Dara (18/1), Millen To One (25/1), Fill The Tank (28/1), Weihnachts (33/1), Crazywork De Vassy (40/1)

It could be worth siding with DRUMCLIFF, who proved that plenty of ability remains intact following a 17-month absence when fourth in a big-field handicap hurdle here on debut for new yard in July. He'll have every chance if able to build on that now returned to the larger obstacles off an attractive mark. Malina Girl has been knocking firmly on the door and is second choice, while Cluan Dara, a winner at Limerick last time, and Goodnightngodbless also enter calculations.
