Forecasts

Echo Point (10/11), Al Madhar (6/1), Dubawi Sands (8/1), Ghost Of The Mambo (12/1), Maqtal (16/1), King Of Arms (18/1), Symbolic Power (20/1), Tell Me Thunder (22/1), Mystery Land (25/1), Act Of Wisdom (28/1), Eshaasy (28/1), Jacksa (33/1), Grand Argentier (33/1), Above Normal (40/1), Visible Charm (40/1), Welford (50/1)

Not the deepest handicap, with ECHO POINT fancied to continue his progression. Al Madhar could provide the biggest competition, while Dubawi Sands can't be ruled out of it either.
