Forecasts

Zalika (10/3), Crimson Chief (9/2), Sanibel Island (5/1), Arverne (5/1), My Friend The Wind (6/1), Getaclan (15/2), Three Loud Knocks (9/1), Four Country Roads (12/1), Touch Of Oscar (14/1), I'm Not Alone (20/1), Dundeedy Lad (25/1), Father Jed (28/1), Moakland (40/1)

CRIMSON CHIEF finally opened his chase account at Kilbeggan in August prior to following up off this mark back over hurdles last month. He is clearly at the top of his game and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Arverne was a shade disappointing last time but he will have every chance if on-song here, while Getaclan could also play a part if none the worse for her fall at Sligo recently.
