Forecasts

Ardakan (11/4), Get Shirty (10/3), Wickywickywheels (5/1), Away He Goes (7/1), New Comedy (8/1), Global Heat (9/1), Charging Thunder (10/1), Tides Of War (20/1), Emperor Of The Sun (25/1), Traila (40/1)

ARDAKAN showed smart form in Germany and could be worth chancing starting out for a new yard. Wickywickywheels produced a career best when beating Away He Goes in a listed event at Abu Dhabi on yard debut last month and rates the main threat.
