Forecasts

Angel Palanas (9/4), Black Salt (3/1), Jack Taylor (13/2), Kupa River (12/1), Manshood (14/1), Tricky Dicky (14/1), National Glory (14/1), Monumental Man (16/1), Zapper Cass (20/1), Red Cymbal (22/1), Gowanbuster (33/1), Luzum (50/1), Dubai Elegance (50/1)

ANGEL PALANAS impressed in winning here last week and he is taken to make all in this competitive 6f handicap. The selection has run well over this distance in the past and can get the better of fellow last time out winner Black Salt who can claim second ahead of Jack Taylor who was narrowly beaten here last month.
