Forecasts

Ghaaleb (2/1), Haasim (7/2), Keffaaf (5/1), Al Arbed (7/1), El Introvertido (16/1), Smart System (16/1), Black Mark (20/1), Panoshoshic (20/1), Chef De Partie (25/1), Watch My Six (28/1), Benzema (28/1), Rebel Love (33/1), Haiuao Alarb (40/1), Alimento (40/1), Houb Al Wattan (40/1), Mount Marcy (50/1)

HAASIM made a promising debut here last month and looks open to progression on just his second start. Ghaaleb is another who should find some improvement, while stablemate Keffaaf can have a say too.
