Forecasts

Withering (5/2), Book Review (7/2), Quality Humor (9/2), El Patriota (15/2), Franz Strauss (17/2), Pitcher's Point (12/1), Sanad Libya (16/1), Gentile Bellini (16/1), Prevent (18/1), Legionario (20/1)

Verdict

EL PATRIOTA arrives fit from a couple of reasonable efforts in Abu Dhabi and might be the answer to this tricky handicap. Book Review should find this a bit easier than the Jebel Ali listed event he contested last time and is feared most ahead of Fawzi Nass's Withering.
