Forecasts

Stoke The Fire (5/6), Nouvotic (7/2), Reve Inoui (6/1), Notkeepinyagoing (7/1), Half Off Six Pence (18/1), Sirekoff (18/1), Gabriel Ranger (25/1), Pat The Carraig (28/1)

STOKE THE FIRE only just failed to break his maiden on the Flat at Naas in October and can make a winning start in this sphere if taking to hurdles at the first attempt. Sirekoff pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Clonmel on his hurdles bow and is an obvious threat ahead of Nouvotic and Notkeepinyagoing.
