Forecasts

Qetaifan (8/11), Great (10/3), Arabian Cobra (9/1), Wicket Keeper (12/1), Kosometsuke (14/1), Newlyn School (14/1), Just King High (16/1), Dannick (25/1), Keith's Star (250/1)

A good opportunity for QETAIFAN to defy a penalty in what looks an ordinary novice. Wicket Keeper offered something to work on when third at Newbury and is next best ahead of Hannon's newcomer Great.
