Forecasts

Eclat Des Mottes (5/4), Jack Dillinger (4/1), Inca Gold (5/1), Court Tycoon (11/2), Jack Fiasco (9/1), Lord In Red (9/1), Room To Roam (12/1), Devil's Glen (14/1), Les Arceaux (25/1)

Verdict

Downpatrick winner, ECLAT DES MOTTES can follow-up his triumph in August by landing this novice hurdle seeing off the attentions of potential improver, Inca Gold from the Joseph O'Brien yard. Devils Glen could go well for the talented Donagh Meyler, while the Jessica Harrington-trained Jack Fiasco could be of interest in first-time cheekpieces.
