Forecasts

King Leo (10/3), Alkaraama (7/2), Fanaar (11/2), Leading Spirit (11/2), Rodaini (17/2), El Baareq (10/1), Mcmanaman (12/1), Mouheeb (14/1), Shanty Star (14/1), Roulston Scar (16/1), Ayaad (22/1)

KING LEO ran really well at this track when last seen and will go close if returning in that sort of form. Fanaar isn't really one to trust for win purposes but make some apppeal for second, while Mouheeb and Leading Spirit shouldn't be ruled out either.
