Forecasts

Adapt To Dan (6/4), Aloysius Lilius (6/1), Zahee (13/2), Tai Sing Yeh (7/1), Plough Boy (7/1), Fit For Function (8/1), Indiana Rose (9/1), Approachcautiously (10/1), Caesar's Comet (10/1), Baby Power (11/1), Cactus Tree (16/1), Beleaguerment (20/1), Lucky Number (25/1), The Bog Bank (40/1), Herecomesharry (50/1), Here She Comes (66/1)

A low-grade handicap with a typically wide-open feel and it may pay to take a chance on BABY POWER. A winner from a higher mark here last term, she stepped up on her comeback run when midfield at Naas 2 weeks ago and an even better showing may be in the offing now re-united with Colin Keane. Adapt To Dan, Plough Boy and Tai Sing Yeh head up the dangers.
