Forecasts

Felix Summus (2/1), Dramatic License (3/1), Fortune The Brave (7/2), Augusta George (8/1), Raby Mere (14/1), Comeonarchie (16/1), Royal Attitude (16/1), Hethinkshe'selvis (20/1), Love As Always (40/1), Left Turn (40/1), Arctic Craft (125/1)

FELIX SUMMUS hasn't been seen for over two years since shaping well when second at Killarney but, given his stable, he can be expected to return in the same sort of form and he's narrowly preferred to Dramatic License, who is open to improvement.
