Forecasts

Captain Square (7/4), Tarseem (5/2), Karannelle (9/2), Canal Rocks (6/1), Snug As A Bug (15/2), Al Zaraqaan (17/2), Cadeau D'Or (10/1), Borak (28/1), Bryanwood (100/1), To Dream (100/1)

Verdict

CAPTAIN SQUARE is already two from three over hurdles and can do better still, so he makes plenty of appeal taking on older rivals now switched to handicaps. Al Zaraqaan's Flat form gives him the scope to be better than a mark of 104, so he's considered a major threat. Tarseem is also considered.

  2. AL ZARAQAAN
