Forecasts

Madkhal (9/4), Dark Silver (7/2), Shanty Star (5/1), Lytham St Annes (11/2), Moqarrab (7/1), Sharamm (12/1), Dahawi (14/1), Creek Horizon (28/1), Expressionist (33/1)

MADKHAL could be the one to side with in what is a trappy little affair. Shanty Star is a viable alternative, while Lytham St Annes can win the battle for minor honours.
