Forecasts

Al Qayed (8/13), Chapron (5/2), Al Thara (13/2), Finger Cross (13/2), Radio Bar (33/1), First Class Lad (33/1), Martaban (50/1), Highland Frost (100/1), Blue Odyssey (100/1), Rupertsbeenrumbled (100/1), Wowaditaka (250/1)

AL QAYED was narrowly denied here last time and can go one better to get off the mark. Chapron shaped with promise on debut and may prove next best from the improving Finger Cross.
