Forecasts

Albahr (8/13), Power Of Beauty (7/2), Sweeping (6/1), Almohandesah (12/1), Monitor (16/1), I Am Magic (20/1), Fuente Ovejuna (33/1), Sanitiser (50/1)

ALBAHR sets a very good standard here and, with more progress on the cards now over 1m, Charlie Appleby's son of Dubawi is taken to complete his hat-trick. Sweeping is also expected to step forward over this longer trip and is next on the list ahead of hat-trick seeking Power of Beauty in an intriguing juvenile listed event.
