Forecasts

Mumayaz (10/3), El Hibri (7/2), Mokaatil (9/2), Captain Vallo (5/1), Kats Bob (11/2), Mr Squires (6/1), Starsong (13/2), El Hombre (12/1), Sparkle In His Eye (22/1), Princess Naomi (25/1), Canaria Queen (50/1)

A few of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for the in-form MUMAYAZ to gain a deserved success and end a lengthy losing run. Recent C&D winner El Hibri is feared most, although a solid case can also be made for Sparkle In His Eye and Captain Vallo.
