Forecasts

Falcon Claws (5/2), Coast Sky (6/1), Zucchini (13/2), Montakhab (13/2), Al Barez (7/1), Dark Of Night (17/2), Untold Secret (10/1), Honorable Justice (11/1), Tolmount (12/1), Mayaadeen (14/1)

Not a big field but an open race, with TOLMOUNT a tentative selection to break his maiden at the seventh attempt. Montakhab makes most appeal among the remainder, while Falcon Claws also requires respect.
