Forecasts

Taylored (3/1), Collective Power (9/2), Ginato (9/2), Baltinglass Abbey (11/2), Ablah (7/1), Drish Venture (17/2), Fine Distraction (14/1), Mass Gathering (16/1), Harry's Hill (18/1), Pallasmore Lass (28/1), Louisa Von Trapp (33/1)

Lots in with a shout here but TAYLORED was much improved on his recent handicap bow when second here so is taken to go one better off an unchanged mark. Ablah scored with a bit up her sleeve over C&D at the start of the month so is feared most despite a 7 lb rise and runner-up there Ginato is another worth considering in an open contest.
