Forecasts

Loudest Whisper (9/4), Rodney Bay (9/2), Draco Pulchrac (6/1), Lariat (17/2), Pretty Little Liar (10/1), Your Honor (12/1), Corballis Flyer (12/1), Duleek Street (14/1), Clueless Hill (18/1), Scarlet Seymour (22/1), Rock On Pedro (25/1), Spirituoso (25/1), Sceptred Isle (28/1), Super Proud (33/1), Magi Gal (50/1), Make The Switch (50/1), Lightly Spiced (100/1), Xael (100/1), Must B Art (150/1)

DRACO PULCHRAC is unexposed at middle distances and has been shaping up well lately, runner-up at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago, so he gets the marginal vote to go one better in a competitive event for the grade. Pretty Little Liar and Loudest Whisper also enter the equation on the back of solid placed efforts.
