Forecasts

Dubai Quality (4/9), Noble Dawn (5/1), No Nay Bella (8/1), True Believer (9/1), Knapsack (16/1), Full Secret (20/1), Tamao (25/1), Voice Of Dubawi (25/1), Goldie Hawk (33/1), Diamond Cottage (66/1), Diamond Jill (100/1), Elixir Sky (100/1)

Just three of these have run and, of those, Noble Dawn looks best placed but on balance the standard set isn't exacting so no shocks if this goes to a newcomer. Both Dubai Quality and Full Secret can be considered but, with Mark Johnston in flying form, TRUE BELIEVER might be the one to enhance the excellent 24% strike-rate of Jason Hart when riding for the Middleham trainer in 2019.
