Forecasts

Magic Art (9/4), Miss Yechance (9/2), Ashwaan (11/2), Wajjeeh (7/1), Ishtiah (9/1), Menaki (9/1), Jabal Jais (10/1), Honest Desert (20/1), Dream Of Tuscany (20/1), State Glory (28/1), Imarat (33/1), Hannem (50/1), Cat Belling (50/1), Mustakbal (66/1)

MAGIC ART created a good impression last time and is the selection. Ashwaan seems the principal danger, while Ishtiah also needs a second look.
