Forecasts

May Sonic (2/1), See You Boy (5/2), Soldier's Minute (3/1), Shallow Hal (11/2), Ventura Tormenta (9/1)

SEE YOU BOY was a useful performer in France for Christophe Ferland and he looks on a fair mark ahead of his British/yard debut. Shallow Hal was running well in defeat in the spring and should be in the mix again back on AW.
