Formwatch
Medraar is well bred and ran a race full of promise on his debut last season. The colt should have learnt a lot from that experience and he is expected to progress through the ranks this season. Istihsaan also showed promise last season and he should follow the selection home. Of the others Parting Shot ran well on his debut and if he has winterd well he could go close.
