Forecasts

Kenstone (7/2), Craneur (6/1), Engrave (7/1), Greek Oasis (7/1), Compass Point (7/1), Al Daiha (15/2), Puckle (9/1), Burniston Rocks (11/1), Muraaqeb (14/1), Dawn View (16/1), Kerrera (20/1), Willingly (20/1), Melabi (50/1), She's On The Edge (50/1), Miss Pollyanna (150/1)

AL DAIHA needs forgiving a couple of lesser efforts, but returned to all-weather/back up in trip, she could be worth chancing to bounce back and open her account. Compass Point ran well at Windsor latest and is feared along with Puckle and Burniston Rocks.
