Forecasts

Al Shabab (9/4), Arlecchino's Rex (11/4), Man Is King (9/2), Balqaa (13/2), Keeper Of Secrets (8/1), Trusty Scout (12/1), Dors Delight (25/1), Come To Pass (25/1), Morning Suit (66/1)

AL SHABAB was a length behind Arlecchino's Rex over C&D 2 weeks ago but a 4 lb swing in the weights could be enough to reverse the placings. Man Is King is another to consider.
