Verdict

Cases can be made for several of these and BATAL DUBAI is the suggestion. Successful af Newcastle in July, he has performed with cedit here and at Wolverhampton the last twice, leaving the impression that his turn is again near. Onemorenomore followed his Doncaster breakthrough success with an equally good effort when going close at Pontefract recently, and he is next on the list ahead of Cuban Breeze.
