Forecasts

Echoing Silence (1/1), Aisling Rose (7/2), Broomfield Aderra (8/1), Kabylia (10/1), Kenisa Sport (11/1), Backwithyourown (11/1), New York Diva (12/1), Georgie's Pearl (22/1), Flamin Court (22/1), Oh Janey (25/1), My Doyen (33/1), Kath Alec Girl (33/1), Likeoldtimes (66/1), Evelyn (80/1)

ECHOING SILENCE should promise in a maiden hurdle before Christmas and this former point winner can strike at the second time of asking for Henry de Bromhead. Aisling Rose makes paper appeal for a stable no stranger to bumper success, while Kenisa Sport and Kabylia hail from good stables and could easily leave their debut efforts behind.
