Forecasts

Tafaakhor (4/1), Almoreb (4/1), Nova Roma (9/2), Trolius (9/1), Lost In Time (10/1), Shanty Star (11/1), Al Salt (12/1), Trickbag (16/1), Homespin (18/1), Mystery Land (22/1), Bawaasil (22/1), Dubai Canal (22/1), Above Normal (25/1), Adventurous (33/1), Visible Charm (40/1), Pinter (50/1)

Verdict

NOVA ROMA should strip fitter for his recent run here and just about shades the vote. Almoreb may be the biggest threat, while Lost In Time will be dangerous if scaling a revival.

  1. NOVA ROMA
  2. ALMOREB (IRE)
  3. LOST IN TIME
