Forecasts

Nayef Road (8/11), Motafaawit (5/4), Love Your Work (20/1), Night Closure (66/1)

MOTAFAAWIT looks likely to prove hard to beat for leading connections if taking up this engagement. The selection is related to a useful individual and can get the better of Nayef Road who hails from a yard who get plenty of juvenile winners. Of the remaining pair preference is for Love Your Work who is bred to be a sprinter while Night Closure can claim fourth.
