Forecasts

Emotionless (11/4), Autocratic (4/1), Spark Plug (4/1), Desert Encounter (9/2), Fajjaj (13/2), First Sitting (11/1), Emirates Flyer (20/1)

Not the easiest race to predict with Emotionless having been difficult to train and Desert Encounter having been so poor last time. Emirates Flyer and Fajjaj are yet to convince they can win at this level, whilst Autocratic has disappointed once too often. SPARK PLUG is a consistent performer at this level and has fewer questions to answer. Brian Meehan's veteran has been unlucky on his last three starts and, although officially rated a few pounds inferior to some of these, he can at least be trusted to give an honest account.
