Forecasts

Aurea Fortuna (7/2), Well Del (4/1), Kish Bank (9/2), Union Station (8/1), Vaureal (9/1), Native Speaker (11/1), Mystical Goddess (11/1), Ho My Lord (11/1), St Denis's Well (11/1), My Immortal (20/1), Kiltealy Park (22/1), Caesar Rock (28/1), Zeeband (33/1), Where's Frankie (40/1)

Verdict

KISH BANK looks interesting now stepping back up in trip for his handicap debut and can provide in-form Gordon Elliott with another Christmas winner. Henry de Bromhead pair Native Speaker and Mystical Goddess head the dangers along with Declan Queally's new recruit Well Del.
