Forecasts

Valdivia (7/2), Kathab (4/1), Thundering (5/1), Max Mayhem (13/2), Comet Chaser (17/2), Rebaatt (11/1), Cosmic Desert (12/1), One World (20/1), Wessall (20/1), Arabian Tale (20/1), Princ Rouz (28/1), Shamran (28/1), Desert Snake (33/1), New Comedy (33/1)

Verdict

There was little to separate KATHAB and Valdivia here 4 weeks ago, so the percentage call is that the former can reverse the form now that he meets his old rival on slightly more favourable terms. Cosmic Desert and Max Mayhem are others who merit consideration.

  1. Kathab4/1
