Forecasts

Saint Felicien (11/8), Dark Voyager (85/40), Slip Of The Tongue (3/1), In From The Cold (9/1), Heliko Conti (100/1), Choice Of Mine (250/1), Getaway Master (300/1)

Verdict

SAINT FELICIEN had useful sorts behind in seocnd/third when a comfortable winner on his Auteuil debut in March and looks an exciting recruit for new trainer Gordon Elliott. The Willie Mullins yard has a very good record in this so Dark Voyager is put up for the forecast spot ahead of last spring's Tipperary debut scorer Slip of The Tongue.

  1. SAINT FELICIEN (FR)
  2. DARK VOYAGER (IRE)
  3. SLIP OF THE TONGUE (IRE)
