Forecasts

Jadwal (2/1), Thunder Of Niagara (6/1), Tashaaboh (13/2), Vasari (8/1), Ejaaby (16/1), Madkhal (16/1), Hawa Bilady (18/1), Wheels On Fire (18/1), Alfolk (20/1), Expressionist (20/1), Will To Win (20/1), Shajjy (20/1), High On Life (20/1), Mujeeb (22/1), Verderon (25/1), Greeley (40/1)

TASHAABOH has been right back to form of late and looks worth siding with in an open contest. Vasari is perhaps the best bet for second, while Jadwal also demands a second look.
