Forecasts

Burning Question (9/4), Still Standing (5/2), Spiorad Saoirse (4/1), Vocal Music (11/2), Future Proof (8/1), Griffyndor (16/1)

Competitive and deep renewal of three-year-old handicap where VOCAL MUSIC can build on his promising second of 15 beaten 4½L in a 7f handicap at the Galway festival last month on seasonal debut getting the colt off the mark at the 10th time of asking. The improving Burning Question, Future Proof and Still Standing on seasonal debut could prove to be the biggest dangers.
