FormscanBy Gary Carson - There are a few rated higher in this but AUTOCRAT may prove the answer in a tricky contest. The No Nay Never gelding didn't run too badly over further at Thurles recently and all his wins have come on this surface, including two over this trip. Firstman is rated 85 but his recent form is uninspiring. He does have the ability to be a big player dropping into this grade. His stablemate Nibiru has a mark of 80 and didn't run too badly in a Curragh handicap last time. He's another for the shortlist.
