Race preview
SAINT FELICIEN has run well in a couple of strong beginners chases and can hit the mark now. The Saint des Saints gelding was third to Facile Vega first time up this season before chasing home Indiana Dream back at Navan last month. A similar effort should see him go close now. Willie Mullins saddles four in this with Tactical Move appearing to be the stable choice with Paul Townend on board. The Stowaway gelding has been lightly raced with lengthy enough gaps in his record but ran a nice race when chasing home stablemate Nick Rockett at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and is entitled to improve from that outing. Ho My Lord was running a nice race before unseating at Leopardstown last time and he looks like another for the shortlist.
