Forecasts

Red Mirage (6/4), Tomouh (13/8), Jebel Dukhan (3/1), Credence Star (10/3), G'daay (16/1), Dandy Maestro (25/1), Stranger Things (33/1), Swiss Rowe (125/1), Berrtie (150/1), Fury (200/1), Karalius (250/1)

RED MIRAGE won his only start last year and he should be able to start his 3-y-o season perfectly here given he is a likely improver. Jebel Dukhan ran well at Southwell on his previous start and rates as the main danger. Tomouh can't be discounted either in a fairly open looking novice event.
