Forecasts

Blue Rc (11/4), Force And Valour (10/3), Binhareer (5/1), Critical Aclaim (6/1), Leadenhall Street (8/1), Tremolo (9/1), Zabeel Road (12/1), Spirit Lead Me (22/1), Searchingtheblues (33/1)

BINHAREER is in good hands and looks the type to progress in handicaps this season. He gets the nod. Blue Rc and Critical Aclaim can also make their presence felt.
