Forecasts

Talents Trump (2/1), Ze Do Asfalto (11/4), Fantazy Man (7/2), J M's Joy (11/2), Magnolia Drive (14/1), Fortune And Flair (14/1), Little Boo Thing (20/1), All Told (28/1), Flynn Ryder (33/1), Lady Lilac (40/1), Can I Kiss You (40/1), Captain Ciano (50/1), Leopold The First (80/1), Highway Sixty One (200/1)

The vote goes to ATHLUMNEY WARRIOR, who made an encouraging start to his career when runner-up on debut over this C&D and he is entitled to improve with that experience under his belt. Ze Do Asfalto looks sure to pick up a race sooner rather than later and he is clear second choice. Lady Lilac wasn't far behind the selection in the C&D maiden won by Snapaurum and she is open to improvement, a remark which also applies to Magnolia Drive.
