Forecasts

Imprison (5/2), Honorable Justice (3/1), Lahmoom (4/1), Golden Claim (11/2), Chosen Mark (12/1), Mujeeb (12/1), Champit (14/1), Cherokee Mist (18/1), Welford (20/1), Grab And Run (25/1), Maqaadeer (33/1), Mellad (40/1)

LAHMOOM was a winner here a fortnight ago and is taken to defy a rise in the weights to follow up. Honorable Justice is the most realistic choice for second, while Imprison is another that could go well.
