Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| D

Non-Runners

Al Kalila¹⁹⁶

Weight: 11-12| Age: 6

T: S R B Crawford J: J J Slevin

Forecasts

Kish Bank (7/4), Hitak (4/1), Union Station (5/1), Bossofthebrownies (13/2), Al Kalila (8/1), Joyau De Thaix (9/1), Coumeenoole (10/1), Flemensface (12/1), Mickie Angel (28/1), Charlie Luciano (50/1)

Gordon Elliott took this with the smart Croke Park last year and might be able to repeat the feat with KISH BANK, a pretty useful bumper/hurdle winner who landed a point at the start of his career. Hitak was a fine third at Listowel in September and is second choice ahead of Stuart Crawford chase newcomer Al Kalila.
