Forecasts

Yulong Voice (9/2), Shannon Gray (13/2), Woodbrook Boy (15/2), Definiteadare (8/1), Cahirdown Boy (8/1), Beechmount Maisie (8/1), Wrong Way Harry (9/1), Falco Du Sauzay (10/1), Frazel Express (10/1), Ice Cool (10/1), Nice To Meet (11/1), Dundeedy Lad (12/1), Offaly Star (20/1), Fleurys Fort (25/1), Fix The Bill (25/1), Handsworth (28/1), Some Joke (28/1), Oh'herewego (40/1), Rocky Stream (66/1)

YULONG VOICE arrives on the up so is fancied to defy a 3 lb rise for his excellent Bellewstown second and add to his recent Killarney victory. Beechmount Maisie is still bidding for a first success but is feared most on the back of her very good C&D fifth. Wrong Way Harry is another with the form to play a part if shrugging off a lesser effort at Galway.
