Forecasts

Voce Del Palio (6/4), Wujdaan (6/1), Lasmuigh (15/2), Shadow Creek (9/1), Gaelic Nation (10/1), Dawn Session (10/1), Pretty Persuasion (12/1), Man Of Style (14/1), Pandora Lovegood (22/1), San Anton (25/1), Kodihill (25/1), Lionized (28/1), Play It Again Zaam (33/1), Commander Sayer (33/1), Palace Gardens (40/1), Rumbled Again (50/1), Grey Fable (50/1), Asgard's Captain (66/1)

VOCE DEL PALIO shaped with clear promise on debut in the Leopardstown maiden won by exciting prospect Alfred Munnings 10 days ago and, likely to be sharper now, he is very much the to beat. Lasmuigh is open to improvement, but newcomers Gaelic Nation and Dawn Session may emerge as the main dangers.
