Forecasts

Ghaaleb (2/1), Split The Profit (11/4), Attwaal (4/1), Welcome Dream (6/1), Granted Wish (8/1), Yukon Star (14/1), Harvest Gold (20/1), Always In Fire (50/1), Hidden Pass (50/1), Black Mark (50/1)

Verdict

GHAALEB has shown enough to land a race of this type and is duly taken to get off the mark. Stablemate Attwaal looks the best bet for the runner-up spot, while Split The Profit can scrap it out for third.
