Forecasts

Nahaash (13/8), African Candy (7/4), Chrono King (5/1), Don Vaccaro (10/1), Arz Lebnan (10/1), Casino Bay (12/1), Mawhoob (22/1), Al Fareeq (40/1)

NAHAASH got back on track last time and can go one better in this line-up. African Candy is the most likely danger, while Chrono King can come on for his recent debut.
