Forecasts

Imagine (10/11), Innatendue (2/1), Ages Of Man (7/1), Atimetodream (12/1), Spillane's Tower (16/1), Ney (22/1), Low Mileage (40/1), True Artist (40/1), Splashing Out (50/1), Spring Street (66/1), Too Easy Mate (100/1), Monty's Way (100/1), Sunwalk (150/1), Maud Ban (250/1)

INNATENDUE had some quiite useful form to her name in juveniles earlier in the year so she's the percentage call, although strong market confidence behind Gordon Elliott bumper winner Imagine would put a slightly different slant on things. Ages of Man may well have won had he not come down 2 out at Roscommon last month and he looks best of the rest.
