Forecasts

Billy Webster (7/4), Turjman (7/2), Lajooje (6/1), Thunder Of Niagara (13/2), Mozahim (8/1), Markakol (9/1), Al Shibli (22/1), Ehraz (25/1), Taakeed (33/1)

BILLY WEBSTER was an impressive C&D winner last time and should give it another good go. Mozahim appeals most among the rest, while Turjman looks third best.
