Forecasts

Matloob (9/4), Feeraas (4/1), El Bosnia (5/1), Royalcorrespondent (10/1), Hobalsalam (11/1), Military Order (16/1), Al Hadeer (16/1), Khamsin (18/1), Desert Safari (20/1), Enchanted Life (20/1), Sky Hawk (22/1), Blewburton (25/1), Harvest Gold (28/1), Mythical Dancer (28/1), Nastase (50/1), Jaarim (50/1)

Verdict

EL BOSNIA was back to his best on his latest run and is well up to winning this. Matloob is an obvious threat on the back of his good third over 5f 3 weeks ago. Hobalsalam and Feeraas are others to consider.
