Forecasts

Ranaan (5/1), Tabarak (6/1), Davy Lamp (13/2), Alla Mahlak (13/2), Winners Club (15/2), Will To Win (9/1), Etisalat (9/1), Al Meqdam (16/1), Leadership (16/1), Celtic Striker (16/1), Hyde Park (20/1), Expressionist (22/1), Anbar (25/1), Scots Pine (25/1), Western Symphony (25/1), Fabrizio (33/1)

TABARAK should be bang there after another good run. The Doug Watson pair, Etisalat and Winners Club, can give the selection plenty to think about.
