Forecasts

Marchons Ensemble (1/1), Borelli (3/1), Yulong Voice (11/2), Formyboys (7/1), Total Euphoria (9/1), Cursu Mina (10/1), In From The Cold (50/1)

The two debutantes look of interest here with preference for the Jessica Harrington-trained, YULONG VOICE. The Poets Voice colt can continue the excellent form of the stables juveniles by seeing off the attentions of the Joseph O'Brien-trained, Total Euphoria. Limerick runner up, Marchons Ensemble can hit the frame on her second career start.
