Forecasts

Al Nefud (6/4), Uncle Hamed (15/8), Atlantic Sky (10/3), Miami Joy (11/1), Cocobai (22/1)

AL NEFUD has a pedigree that suggests he'll be very much at home on dirt and he can strike on UAE debut. Uncle Hamed sets the standard and will be a worthy opponent, while Atlantic Sky has place prospects.
