Forecasts

Jebel Dukhan (1/1), Mr Excellency (11/4), Arthur's Angel (11/2), Russco (10/1), Arid Steel (16/1), Tommy R (22/1), Olivia And Grace (80/1)

JEBEL DUKHAN should have learnt plenty from his Kempton debut and can get off the mark. Mark Johnston's newcomer Mr Excellency may provide the biggest threat.
