Forecasts

Wadi Rum (3/1), Matthew The King (3/1), Fire Walker (4/1), Fours A Crowd (4/1), Al Wahed (15/2), Spy (15/2), Destruction Boy (17/2), Cape Of Storms (9/1), Magic Sailor (9/1)

SPY looks to have marginally the best credentials and his previous win came at this venue. Fire Walker should be involved at the business end as well, while Wadi Rum shouldn't be discarded.
