Forecasts

Carbon King (11/10), Happy Dreams (4/1), Robindevidastar (7/1), Banada Bridge (7/1), Fox Le Bel (8/1), Getaclan (11/1), Dragon's Pass (12/1), Son Of Tully (12/1), Ballygriffin Girl (14/1), Truckers Angel (20/1), Mighty Jeremy (22/1), Elzoom (25/1), Leading The Way (33/1), Fairly Bold (40/1), Pana To Milan (50/1), Elsannah (50/1), Reserve Judgement (50/1), Catrionas Darling (66/1), Rathnaleen Glory (66/1)

CARBON KING should have more to come on the back of his Naas success before Christmas and can make light of a rise in the weights. Happy Dreams has improved over fences of late and is potentially well treated back chasing so he's feared most ahead of Denise Foster's Banada Bridge, who was better than the result last time and had been second here prior to that.
