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)

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.
