Forecasts

Sky Pillar Rock (2/1), Hopscotch (3/1), Commander Of All (5/1), Circle Of Grace (6/1), Flag Bearer (10/1), Crepuscolo (14/1), Fushimi Inari (16/1), Bob Lee Swagger (25/1), Gold De Grace (33/1), Viva De Janeiro (50/1)

HOPSCOTCH dispelled a couple of lesser efforts when fourth over further here 3 weeks ago and she's of interest having slipped further in the weights. Sky Pillar Rock is second choice, while Commander Of All is in the running for a share of the minor money.
