Forecasts

Shanty Star (7/2), Speedy Move (9/2), Double Orb (5/1), Gervais (11/2), Almoreb (6/1), Lytham St Annes (6/1), Mayaadeen (6/1), Monoski (8/1), Alla Mahlak (10/1), Hyde Park (11/1), Making History (14/1), Wufud (16/1), Moshaher (18/1), Rebel Streak (22/1), Ocean Monarch (25/1), Ejbaar (25/1), Alfurat River (33/1)

Despite being drawn wide, UAE newcomer DOUBLE ORB is the tentative selection in an extremely trappy affair. Stable companion Lytham St Annes may be next best, while Shanty Star is also considered.
