Forecasts

Al Maroom (3/1), Aldhaja (4/1), Maputo (5/1), Ezaj (5/1), Tolmount (6/1), Welcome Dream (6/1), Endosser (10/1), Jassar (16/1), Nature Watch (20/1), Chief Scribe (25/1), Important Role (25/1), Classic City (28/1), Little Raven (28/1), Sensatiable (33/1)

AL MAROOM can capitalise on the drop into this grade for the first time in what is a really trappy finale. She can come home ahead of a pair who've also dropped in the weights in Tolmount and Maputo, in that order.
