Forecasts

First Snowfall (7/2), Hildenley (7/2), Calcutta Dream (4/1), Knocknakilla (9/2), Going Underground (5/1), Pallas Lord (6/1), Oscar Doodle (7/1), Cicely (7/1), Master Oliver (14/1), Bobby Shaftoe (25/1), Chantreys (33/1)

FIRST SNOWFALL had plenty to spare in a C&D classified event last week and may be up to defying a penalty if showing up here in the same form. Going Underground doesn't have a great strike-rate but he does have plenty of good efforts to his name here since the autumn and heads the dangers along with Irish raider Knocknakilla.
