Forecasts

Habooba (3/1), Sixties Chic (4/1), Mumayaz (9/2), Em Jay Kay (5/1), Glamorous Express (7/1), Bankrupt (15/2), El Hombre (8/1), Impeach (16/1), Libra Tiger (22/1), Ithra (28/1), Thismydream (28/1), Roman Spring (100/1)

Lots with chances. HABOOBA still has few miles on the clock and rates the pick at these weights so is taken to gain her breakthrough success. Sixties Chic heads the list of dangers on the back of her recent C&D success, with Tony Carroll's duo Glamorous Express and Mumayaz also well in the mix.
