Forecasts

Pandora Lovegood (3/1), Texas Boy (7/2), Roman Moon (7/2), Montesilvano (9/2), Who Not What (8/1), Palace Gardens (8/1), Roman Hands (8/1), O'banion (16/1), Majestic Hills (22/1), Ard Mhacha (40/1)

ROMAN MOON didn't go unbacked when shaping well on debut at Limerick and should improve, so she won't be far away. Palace Gardens ran a fine race from the front at Fairyhouse and has good claims with a repeat back up in trip. Montesilvano is a newcomer to note.
