Forecasts

Fil Dor (5/4), Sea Sessions (5/4), Inca Prince (11/2), Mankhool (20/1), Justicialism (40/1), Guest (200/1)

Gordon Elliott has won 4 of the last 6 runnings of this so the vote goes the way of his French recruit FIL DOR, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Sea Sessions shaped well when second on her Punchestown hurdle debut 18 days ago and is the obvious danger.
