Forecasts

Kafoo (13/8), Endifaa (11/4), Al Maroom (9/2), Bawadi Spirit (5/1), Nayefah (8/1), Talo (18/1), Sheringham (33/1), Beijing Billy (40/1), Jacksonville (50/1), Knight's Town (80/1)

Not a deep race but ENDIFAA is largely consistent and gets the nod in this company. Al Maroom has the best credentials of the remainder, while Nayefah looks the one for the minor money.
