Forecasts

I'm A Rocket Man (5/2), Coutach (11/4), Faith Of Empires (9/2), Gomez Addams (11/2), Maskarvel (7/1), Saint Clovis (14/1), Sir Vinny (14/1), Lupin Du Chenet (16/1), Theabsolutegov'nor (20/1), Figero (25/1), Moulane Fortune (25/1), No Cure (28/1), Papanell (33/1), Zam Bobbler (33/1), That's So True (40/1), Call Tadgh (50/1), Maxicourt (80/1), Super Freak (100/1), Highlander Addict (100/1), Frontier Rose (100/1), Cornaroya Rocco (125/1), Dreamersgame (250/1), Sugar In My Tea (300/1)

The market should reveal plenty here but the vote goes to Authorized gelding FAITH OF EMPIRES who is taken to make a winning start for Emmet Mullins. Gordon Elliott could provide the main opposition in the shape of Punchestown fifth Coutach and newcomer Lupin du Chenet. That's So True completes the shortlist.
