Forecasts

Moktasaab (4/6), The Rosstafarian (6/1), Boltaway (7/1), Paramaribo (11/1), Diamond Bay (12/1), Tajdid (16/1), Qalansia (18/1), Glide Down (28/1), Beowulf (33/1), Pride Of Hawridge (50/1), Turaco (66/1), Langafel (66/1), Montjuic Force (80/1), Mastic (125/1)

BOLTAWAY is a well-connected Dubawi newcomer out of a smart mare who has already produced a winner, so a winning debut would come as little surprise. Moktasaab fetched 500,000 gns as a yearling and seems sure to improve on his opening effort at Doncaster, with Tajdid another likely sort on paper.
