Forecasts

Araifjan (10/3), Red Walls (7/2), Mustaffiz (4/1), Saaheq (6/1), Jumira Bridge (13/2), Street Life (17/2), Show Me A Sunset (11/1), The Grey Lass (25/1)

MUSTAFFIZ was a bit too keen for his own good at Wolverhampton last time and is worth another chance back down to 5f given the form he was in. Saaheq and Red Walls are feared most.
