Forecasts

Inishmot Prince (9/4), Tawaazon (5/2), Mr Stanley (7/1), Tai Sing Yeh (10/1), Iva Batt (10/1), Distillate (12/1), It'll Do My Day (14/1), Bang Po (14/1), Transcendental (14/1), Ecclesiastical (25/1), That's Mad (25/1), Mass Gathering (33/1)

TAWAAZON travelled fluently for a long way when runner-up at Navan only three days ago and is weighted to resume winning ways here. Iva Batt is feared most now starting out with Adrian McGuinness with in-form Inishmot Prince another who can have a say in an open handicap.
