Forecasts

Mind's Eye (13/8), Kildorrery (9/4), Avenir D'Une Vie (4/1), Duca De Thaix (9/1), Noble Emperor (10/1), Doctor Phoenix (16/1)

Plenty of these have something to prove, not least Duca De Thaix who posted a dreadful effort when eased down on his seasonal debut at Naas. He is a talented sort though, and has held lofty company since arriving on these shores so should be given another chance. MIND'S EYE finished just in front of Kildorrery when the pair met at Limerick in October, and despite a 2lb pull in favour of the Ted Walsh runner, the former can confirm those placings and notch a second career victory over fences. Noble Emperor should be closely monitored in the betting given he is 11lb below his previous chase mark given he has had so much time off.
