Forecasts

Taking Names (9/4), Mr Kafoo (9/4), Made In Dubai (7/2), Summer Is Tomorrow (5/1), Bin Askar (11/1), Conglomerate (18/1), Street Mood (22/1)

A tricky race with no form to go on, but TAKING NAMES makes plenty of appeal on paper and is the tentative selection. Made In Dubai is a marginal preference for second, while Summer Is Tomorrow might be hard to keep out of the minor money.
