Forecasts

Right Flank (3/1), Lady Snazz (7/2), Zucchini (9/2), Meqdam (6/1), Celestial Spheres (9/1), Gold Factory (10/1), Al Barez (16/1), Fraserburgh (18/1), Rougher (18/1), Arabian Moon (20/1), Kuchisabishii (22/1), Mazeed (33/1), Sea Skimmer (40/1)

RIGHT FLANK bounced back to form last time and could be the one they all have to beat. Al Barez seems the most likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver, while Meqdam can make the first three as well.
