Forecasts

Aird (11/8), Babich (2/1), Ice Opera (9/2), Free Flow (11/2), Autumn Twist (6/1), Pavilion End (16/1), Glowing Bird (150/1), Sing A New Song (200/1), Spencer Dock (200/1)

BABICH wasn't disgraced over hurdles at Leopardstown during the Christmas period and he is appealing back on the level, having finished a good second at Roscommon on his latest start on the level during the autumn. He may have most to fear from Aird, who found just one too good over C&D last month, but Autumn Twist is also worthy of consideration.
