Forecasts

Trixie Mc (5/2), Christmas Jumper (9/2), Romella (9/2), Danegeld (11/2), Hoganville (7/1), Hide Out (15/2), Peace Party (10/1), Londonofficecallin (10/1), Indevango (11/1), Let Her Flow (12/1), Chrisaldy (14/1), Genie Makker (20/1), Hitchcock (20/1), Drumbaragh (33/1), Fuzzbuster (40/1)

TRIXIE MC tables by far the strongest piece of recent form on offer here, courtesy of her solid third off this mark at Kilbeggan last week. Indeed, a mere reproduction of that will surely be enough to see her get off the mark at the eleventh time of asking. Danegeld will be a threat if making the cut but, assuming he doesn't, Londonofficecallin and Peace Party could be in line for minor honours.
