Forecasts

Coole Arcade (10/3), Alexharwill (4/1), Ena Baie (9/2), Carnet De Stage (15/2), Stormey (17/2), Cregane Ned (11/1), Ricky Langford (12/1), Pythion (12/1), Jack Holiday (14/1), Leahman (66/1)

COOLE ARCADE confirmed the promise of his chase debut when gamely seeing off Ricky Langford and 4 others at Wexford in August. A 5 lb rise is fair enough and he remains open to improvement in this sphere. Ena Baie got back on track when third in a Kilbeggan novice and she is of strong interest on her handicap debut over fences. Stormey is also worth a second look.
