Forecasts

Royal Sands (1/1), Mayaadeen (7/2), Rich And Famous (7/2), Mazeed (6/1), Dangerous Thought (12/1), Gervais (14/1), Lahmoom (18/1), Dirilis Ertugrul (22/1), Space Bandit (22/1), Iftitah (33/1), Beachcomber (40/1), Circle Dream (40/1)

ROYAL SANDS very much caught the eye with his fast-finishing second here a fortnight ago and is taken to turn the tables on Rich And Famous with that run under his belt. Mayaadeen may have the best chance outside of the top pair.
