Forecasts

Al Habash (9/2), Sari Dubai (5/1), Withering (5/1), Bendoog (6/1), Muqatel (17/2), Libyan Classic (9/1), Klimt Street (12/1), Golden Arch (12/1), Mosheer (12/1), Shore Street (18/1), American Phillip (18/1), First Of November (20/1), Street Mood (28/1), Union Red (33/1)

This is could well go to a newcomer, with AL HABASH narrowly preferred to stable companion Bendoog, though both have attractive pedigrees. Sari Dubai can show the benefit of prior experience to grab third place.
