Forecasts

Imadpour (7/4), King Of Scotia (11/4), Skip James (10/3), Autocrat (13/2), Dark Side (7/1), Desert Haven (10/1), Charles Bianconi (10/1), Pigeon House (16/1), Mr Lincoln (16/1), Immutable (33/1), Long Count (50/1), Belissimo (50/1), Hialeah (66/1), Makeeverydaycount (80/1), Barney Hyland (100/1)

KING OF SCOTIA showed plenty to work on when runner-up despite missing the break at the Curragh 18 days ago and with improvement forthcoming, he could be up to landing this. Skip James is also open to progress, while support for Autocrat on debut would put a different slant on things.
