Forecasts

Meishar (11/8), Rocky Dreams (5/1), Sister Lola (7/1), Amazing Emma (15/2), Sunset Nova (11/1), Geological (12/1), Sendmylovetoyou (12/1), Skontonovski (14/1), Brokers Tip (18/1), Improving (20/1), Red Cymbal (28/1), Nordic Passage (40/1), Alphonse Karr (40/1), Fox Leicester (50/1), Brushwork (66/1)

IMPROVING gets the nod to build on a good run on turf at Naas 12 days ago and land a second career success. Amazing Emma was better than the result when sixth here last time and is likely still in form. Sister Lola has been in cracking form here this autumn so also makes the shortlist along with Meishar.
