Forecasts

Ingenious Stroke (10/11), Dorans Boy (11/4), King Kal (7/2), Moving Water (15/2), Le Fou's Keep (11/1), He Fitz In (18/1), Mr Macphisto (22/1), Vintage Writer (22/1), Conna Sue (25/1), Padraigs Boy (33/1), One More Lass (66/1), Doitmonday (100/1)

Verdict

KING KAL left the distinct impression that he's getting the hang of things when fourth at Kilbeggan last month and, with improvement likely now faced with a stiffer test, he looks the way to go. Point winner Ingenious Stroke is greatly respected based on his hurdles debut promise at Galway in October, but he has failed to build on that subsequently and King Kal may have most to fear from Moving Water, who is almost certainly capable of a good deal better than he's shown to date.

  1. KING KAL (IRE)
  2. MOVING WATER (IRE)
  3. INGENIOUS STROKE (IRE)
