Forecasts

Crest Of Fortune (4/6), Kingston Pride (1/1), Just A Rose (6/4), First Confession (2/1), Groovy Blue (12/1), Old Cowboy (12/1)

With the highly promising Just A Rose ruled out, this now looks pretty open. CREST OF FORTUNE hasn't done a great deal wrong in his three starts over hurdles to date and left the strong impression that this step back up in trip would be in his favour when again finding just one too good at Exeter on New Year's Day. Anthony Honeyball's charge gets the nod ahead of First Confession and Kingston Pride, both of whom looked promising prior to low-key performances in graded company last time.
