Forecasts

Dividend (11/4), Cavallo Bay (7/2), Folk Festival (5/1), Silver Sword (6/1), Roi De France (10/1), Regheeb (12/1), Native Approach (16/1), Silent Defense (20/1), Ehraz (20/1), Aragon Castle (20/1), Bold Style (25/1), Tafreej (28/1), Olzhakhan (50/1), Blue Trail (100/1)

DIVIDEND has marginally the best credentials in a competitive handicap. Silver Sword looks the best back-up if the selection underperforms, while Cavallo Bay can't be ruled out.
