Forecasts

Great Image (5/4), Discovery Island (10/3), Al Hadeer (9/2), Vasari (7/1), Major Cinnamon (11/1), Corojo (11/1), Puzzle Elegance (16/1), Bin Muhaarar (16/1), Shanghai Tong (16/1), Litecoin (16/1), Morrabbi Al Ajjial (16/1), Express Route (20/1), Midnight Hunter (22/1), Ababil (33/1), Scots Pine (33/1), Cherokee Mist (40/1), Bartolist (66/1)

DISCOVERY ISLAND made a pleasing UAE debut last time and should have more to offer for top connections. Great Image is tough to ignore if looking elsewhere, while Shanghai Tong also demands scrutiny.
