Forecasts

Almufti (4/1), Shamaroon (9/2), Jumaira Bay (11/2), Nicklaus (8/1), Tintoretto (17/2), Hieronymus (9/1), Newbolt (10/1), Mon Choix (14/1), Zhui Feng (18/1), Campari (25/1), Bottom Bay (28/1), Tipperary Jack (28/1), Poetic Force (50/1), Unforgiving Minute (100/1)

SHAMAROON is a progressive colt and is difficult to oppose on handicap debut for his top yard. A mark of 85 looks very workable and he may be able to take this before scaling even greater heights next year. Almufti and Nicklaus rate as his main dangers in a very warm handicap.
