Forecasts

Paso Doble (5/2), Poseidon (9/2), Shanroe (15/2), Camorra (15/2), Mona's Star (17/2), The Jam Man (10/1), Brazos (11/1), Lakemilan (16/1), Dalileo (16/1), Yulong Pearlisland (16/1), Alatar (18/1), Father Ailbe (22/1), Lord Erskine (40/1), Tritonix (50/1), Grand Partner (66/1)

PASO DOBLE has won both his starts this season with plenty in hand so has obvious claims of landing the hat-trick under a penalty. Shanroe pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Leopardstown and remains lightly raced in this sphere, while Poseido justified support at Limerick and remains on a good mark on hurdles form.
