Forecasts

Magical Land (9/4), Al Salt (11/4), Twaasol (9/2), Manahir (12/1), Mcmanaman (14/1), Will To Win (16/1), Bawaasil (20/1), Taamol (22/1), Hawa Bilady (25/1), Bayroot (25/1), Sun Power (25/1), Baashir (25/1), Almoreb (25/1), Maystar (28/1), Nibras Passion (40/1), Quayside (40/1)

TWAASOL has to concede race fitness to most of his rivals but should be on the premises if ready to roll for his new yard. Magical Land is the pick of the the others, while Bawaasil also commands a second look.
