Forecasts

River Frost (9/4), Meet The Legend (10/3), Ozzie The Oscar (5/1), Artifice Sivola (6/1), Cool Sky (13/2), New Member (15/2), Allee Bleue (12/1), Ryeolliean (20/1), Ashoka (33/1), Gannicus (66/1)

Verdict

Given connections, one must be massively fearful that River Frost will take a mighty step forward and make a mockery of his mark of 123. Both Meet The Legend and Ozzie The Oscar were abundantly talented novices, but pay the price here shouldering joint top weights of 11st 12lbs. New Member has to hold every chance off a 2lbs higher mark for a good run over Christmas, but a speculative chance is taken that ALLEE BLEUE can bounce back and make all from a most appealing handicap mark to score at decent odds. 1. Allee Bleue 2. New Member 3. River Frost
