Forecasts

Overheer (6/4), Loingseoir (4/1), Lord Park (6/1), Vocito (13/2), Celtic Crown (8/1), Buckman Tavern (11/1), Waterville Lady (11/1), Mk Drama (12/1), Collaborating (12/1), Thefaithfulindian (14/1), Cafe Con Leche (16/1), Eternal Presence (18/1), Magnetic North (18/1), Dundory (20/1), No Stopping Her (25/1)

COLLABORATING showed more promising signs last time and might be worth chancing back over a shorter trip from a mark which has come down 11 lb since last summer's handicap debut. The Joseph O'Brien-trained 3-y-o Eternal Presence would rate a danger if the betting speaks in his favour now handicapping. The selection's stablemate Overheer and hat-trick seeking Loingseoir are also respected.
