Forecasts

Al Najashi (5/4), Second Avenue (10/3), Container Express (8/1), Mademoiselle Belle (17/2), Woody Y Fernandez (9/1), Oh So Perfect (16/1), Mythical Night (16/1), Mon Petit Frere (20/1), Tickettothestars (25/1), Trucial Pearl (28/1), Rai Rogers (50/1)

A few with chances but Ollie Sangster's AL NAJASHI appeals as a likely improver now stepping into handicaps for the first time and edges the vote from Mademoiselle Belle who is weighted to go well on the back of a resurgent C&D second. Container Express should prove suited by this return to 6f and can also have a say. Mythical Night and Woody Y Fernandez complete the shortlist.
