Forecasts

King Of Scotia (4/7), Shanadar (5/1), Capital Guarantee (6/1), Tabuk (11/1), Sea Spray (12/1), Memorial Verse (28/1), Phil's Dream (33/1), Californiagoldrush (50/1), Market House (50/1), Allie Bear (80/1), Turbo Sprint (80/1), Miss Slovakia (100/1), Saoirses Lulaby (100/1), Lady Montse (125/1)

KING OF SCOTIA holds the clear edge on form so is taken to open his account back in these calmer waters at the chief expense of Jessica Harrington's Sea Spray, who can build on his recent fourth here. Tabuk is another with better days ahead of him and he appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
