Forecasts

Verboten (3/1), Ajuste Fiscal (5/1), Tapitution (5/1), Tell Me Thunder (11/2), Kaheall (9/1), Anizzah (9/1), Ebnzaidoon (9/1), Scots Pine (18/1), Saqqara King (20/1), American Dancer (22/1), Trumpet Man (25/1)

VERBOTEN proved better than ever at Jebel Ali last time and will take plenty of stopping if transferring that form back to this track. Anizzah comes here in good nick and should be on the premises too, while Tapitution is also considered.
