Forecasts

Stop On Red (85/40), No Patience (7/2), Betrayed (9/2), Baltinglass Abbey (11/2), Stribling (13/2), Ablah (7/1), Designer Cailin (33/1)

A wide-open small-field sprint handicap with the vote in favour of BALTINGLASS ABBEY. A good third over the minimum trip in January, her best effort to date came when runner-up over C&D in November and she's fancied to go well again starting out for her new yard. Betrayed, Stop On Red and No Patience are others with sound claims.
