Forecasts

Mutaraffa (11/4), Lavaspin (11/2), Taneen (6/1), Speedy Move (15/2), Yaalail (12/1), Ayaad (12/1), Etisalat (14/1), Alkaraama (16/1), Way of Wisdom (18/1), Fanaar (20/1), Laieth (22/1), Pennsylvania Dutch (22/1), Shanaghai City (22/1), Cardsharp (25/1), Riflescope (28/1), Cenotaph (28/1)

MUTARAFFA has been performing well of late and this drop in grade may be just what he needs to strike. Taneen rates the main opposition, while Fanaar is one to bear in mind too.
