Forecasts

Klassical Dream (1/3), Royal Kahala (9/2), Gentlemansgame (7/1), Commander Of Fleet (28/1), Ashdale Bob (33/1), Mr Adjudicator (33/1), Any Second Now (50/1), Home By The Lee (80/1), Court Maid (80/1)

Verdict

KLASSICAL DREAM looked as good as ever when beating an on-song Flooring Porter in the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown on his return and can cement his place at the top of the Stayers' Hurdle market. Royal Kahala is a mare on the upgrade so is taken to follow the selection home.
