Forecasts

Trickbag (11/4), Eshtiraak (7/2), Top Clearance (11/2), Fawaareq (6/1), Dragons Tail (7/1), Shajjy (11/1), Poetique (12/1), Hyde Park (16/1), Haafel (16/1), Stratton Street (16/1), Yakeen (33/1), Fly At Dawn (33/1)

TRICKBAG bounced back to form with a good third here last time and is taken to build on that. The Doug Watson-trained pair of Eshtiraak and Fawaareq could provide the toughest threats.
