Forecasts

Meqdam (11/4), Hello (4/1), Maqaadeer (11/2), East Asia (11/2), Fraserburgh (7/1), Cranesbill (9/1), Antimo (10/1), Skygazer (11/1), Miracle Maker (22/1), Glorious Poet (28/1), Ratio (28/1), Franz Schubert (33/1)

MEGDAM is low mileage compared to the rest of this field and can strike on handicap debut. Skygazer could provide the main threat, while Hello is also in the running for some place money at least.
