Forecasts

The Big Doyen (11/4), Zurich (9/2), Doctor Glide (5/1), Conyers Hill (6/1), One Last Tango (13/2), Step Out (10/1), Someone's Wish (14/1), Nas Na Riogh (14/1), Listentillitellyea (16/1)

Not a novice chase that will take much winning and THE BIG DOYEN could be the way to go after his encouraging comeback in a hot event at Leopardstown over Christmas. Zurich and Listentillitellyea are lead dangers.
