JAMES FORT is getting better by the run and should be suited by the step up in trip, so he's fancied to improve past Takarengo in a race that the pair should dominate. Maccloud made a pleasing start to Rules at Leopardstown 17 days ago and, based on his point win, probably has more to offer, so he's the pick of the remainder.
