Al Najashi (1/4), Ocean Of Storms (9/2), Maynora (18/1), My Shagaf (20/1), Okiru (25/1), Norcross Brow (25/1), What Fools Believe (66/1)

Verdict

AL NAJASHI looked several notches above this level when completing a hat-trick with a 13-length romp at Wolverhampton just 6 days ago and is very hard to oppose despite being 16 lb higher. Maynora only just failed to get off the mark last time and a reproduction of that effort should see her in the placings, with Norcross Brow taken to complete the 1-2-3.

  1. AL NAJASHI
  2. MAYNORA
  3. NORCROSS BROW
