Forecasts

Starman (11/8), Bocelli's Voice (5/2), Mister Twist (8/1), O Faolains Lass (11/1), Read To Return (12/1), Unheralded (14/1), Farceur De Sivola (14/1), Duncarrig (14/1), Autumn In The Park (18/1), Costaweefortune (33/1), Getaway Henry (66/1), Windgap Warrior (66/1), Kaytana (80/1), Share The Joy (100/1), Dylan Og (125/1), Nurse Garvey (150/1)

STARMAN wasn't disgraced when seventh in what looked a significantly stronger maiden than this at Naas recently and he could be the answer. It's likely that he will have most to fear from Bocelli's Voice, who has shown a fair level of ability in 3 starts in this sphere to date and may do better still when sharpening up his jumping. Duncarrig, Farceur de Sivola and Mister Twist all make each-way appeal.
