Taylormade Lad^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 65

Forecasts

La Cadalora (9/4), Relocal (5/2), Solar Bentley (7/1), Taylormade Lad (7/1), Moon Sniper (10/1), Elemental Eye (10/1), Fleur De Mer (14/1), Speechman (25/1), Sense Of Worth (40/1)

ELEMENTAL EYE resumed winning ways in taking style at Musselburgh last week and a 5 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Taylormade Lad also comes here in great order and looks much the biggest threat with Fleur de Mer, La Cadalora and Sense of Worth the pick of the remainder.
