Il Palazzo has been attempting to make all over longer trips before fading. She was over five lengths behind Fire And Flame when the latter finished runner-up to Coquette Noire over 7f at the Curragh and is unlikely to reverse the form. Danseur De Feu is another who has been performing over further and hasn't shown the pace to go with a couple of these so it's ACTING TALENT, who made a very encouraging start behind two more experienced rivals at Navan in May, who has the scope to take this before going on to better things.
