Forecasts

The Mouse Doctor (6/4), Kajaki (13/5), Seaborough (11/2), Goldencard (7/1), Castletown (12/1), Weather Front (18/1), Carry On (18/1), Mister Manduro (20/1), Ardera Cross (50/1)

Verdict

It was more competitive heat than this that THE MOUSE DOCTOR ran well in at Leopardstown's Christmas fixture, and a repeat of that effort makes him the one to beat in this line-up. Seaborough has refound his form for his current yard, and has place claims after impressing at Sedgefield last time, while Goldencard is equally effective over hurdles and fences, and generally gives his running, so is the obvious alternative to the selection.
  1. The Mouse Doctor
  2. Goldencard
  3. Seaborough
