Forecasts

Vocito (7/2), Lust (7/2), Supershock (9/2), Prince Of Peace (11/2), Emphatic Answer (7/1), Cosa Sara (15/2), The Piano Player (8/1), Fly Girl (12/1), Puerto De Vega (12/1), Spring Time Bay (16/1), Sheer Chance (16/1), Sea Sessions (25/1), Captain Middleton (40/1), Cocobanana (40/1), Magic Carousel (100/1)

Probably a good 3-y-o handicap with LUST fancied to defy his opening mark. He was impressive when winning a maiden at Gowran on his return and looks capable of even better back over a mile. Other potential improvers include The Piano Player, Puerto de Vega and Spring Time Bay, while Vocito is thriving on racing and can go well again after his Cork victory.
