Form: 137-203

Forecasts

Mawthog (5/2), Ranaan (5/1), Faattik (11/2), Shamlaan (7/1), Alkaraama (9/1), Al Tariq (10/1), Leading Spirit (12/1), Magic Petition (14/1), Gladiator King (16/1), Silent Speech (18/1), Fast-Uno (22/1)

RANAAN is the pick on form and should give a good account as he bids to extend a fine record when fresh. It looks a good battle for the places with the lightly-raced Michael Costa trained pair Mawthog and Faattik leading the way in that order.
