Elshaameq⁶²

Forecasts

Nigwa (7/4), Gastronomy (3/1), Novel Legend (16/5), Star Legend (7/1), Alhabor (12/1), Super Chief (20/1), Change Of Fortune (28/1), Elshaameq (33/1), Aldeenaary (50/1), My Chiquita (80/1), Timesoftheessence (100/1)

This looks to revolve around NIGWA, who shaped with an abundant amount of promise when going down by just a head on debut at this track (8.3f) just under 3 weeks ago, and with this step up to 1¼m sure to suit, Edward Bethell's charge is strongly fancied to get the job done second time up. Gastronomy is entitled to progress from his recent debut so he's feared most, ahead of Super Chief and newcomer Star Legend.
