Forecasts

Oscar Doodle (7/2), Balqaa (4/1), Ana Emaraaty (5/1), Child Of Lir (8/1), We Still Believe (17/2), Bawaader (10/1), Stand Free (11/1), Prince Achille (12/1), Coconut Bay (18/1), Metric (22/1)

CHILD OF LIR opened his account in a maiden at this track 8 days ago and a return to this trip looks sure to suit, so he gets the nod to follow up back in handicap company. We Still Believe and Oscar Doodle are feared.
