Forecasts

Emma Prada (9/2), Christmas Jumper (9/2), Presenting Cody (11/2), Where's Bunny (13/2), Cloak Of Darkness (13/2), Nice To Meet (13/2), Shannon Gray (15/2), Happy B (17/2), Lunastar (9/1), Little Mixup (9/1), Shanacoole (12/1), Westernerona (12/1), Pak Army (16/1), The Tartan Spartan (22/1), Over Milk Wood (25/1)

It may be worth siding with CLOAK OF DARKNESS, who shaped well when third over a similar trip here back from a 12-month absence in August. It could be argued that he wasn't seen to best effect at Bellewstown since and his current mark is a fair one. Emma Prada didn't do much wrong at Kilbeggan last time and she is second choice ahead of Little Mixup and Christmas Jumper.
