Forecasts

Takhteet (5/2), Lahmoom (7/2), Rougher (4/1), Honorable Justice (5/1), Coast Sky (9/1), Chosen Mark (10/1), Montakhab (10/1), Iskandarani (25/1), Flamewood (33/1), Fitzsimmons (33/1), Iftitah (33/1), Cherokee Mist (50/1), Morrabbi Al Ajjial (50/1)

A trappy contest can go the way of COAST SKY who, with the exception of his last run, has a good C&D record. Honorable Justice seems the leading danger, whilst Takhteet has made a bright start for his new yard and can go well again.
