Forecasts

Walbank (11/10), Mischief Magic (7/4), Ladies Church (10/1), Yonafis (16/1), Thunder Of Niagara (18/1), Demain (25/1), Boomshalaa (25/1), Batwan (33/1), Topper Bill (40/1), Al Shibli (40/1), Ventura Rebel (80/1), Noor Bano (80/1), Tanmawwy (80/1), Urgent Appeal (100/1)

WALBANK was a big improver on stable debut last time and is taken to go in again. Mischief Magic should provide the main threat, while Ladies Church is in the running for a share of the minor money.
