Forecasts

Drombeg Banner (3/1), Red Lacewing (9/2), It'll Do My Day (9/2), Magniffico (7/1), Pearl Palinka (7/1), Ernest Rutherford (9/1), Heart To Heart (12/1), Shoebox King (16/1), Devious Angel (16/1), Super Cub (28/1), Anatoli (40/1)

It's possible IT'LL DO MY DAY will have a fitness on some of his mainly reappearing rivals so he gets the nod on the back of a decent run at Naas last weekend. Dermot Weld maiden winner Pearl Palinka should have more to offer and is also on the shortlist along with Drombeg Banner, who should found this easier than the Group 3 he contested when last seen, and Aidan O'Brien's Heart To Heart.
