Forecasts

Custom Taylor (7/4), Arctic Gale (10/3), Cinammon Roll (4/1), Carried With Love (11/2), Watch The Weather (6/1), Duty Bound (10/1), Kalanisi Flash (10/1), Jacovec Cavern (10/1), Cheerful Chap (16/1), Eagles Reign (20/1), History Of Fashion (25/1)

A competitive handicap in which Joseph O'Brien's handily-weighted CARRIED WITH LOVE gets the nod given he can race off the same mark as when a very good recent third at Ballinrobe. Gordon Elliott's Cinammon Roll heads the list of dangers in his bid for a fourth victory this season, ahead of Kalanisi Flash, Custom Taylor and Arctic Gale.
