Forecasts

Royal Mews (11/4), Ajyaall (7/2), Al Madhar (4/1), Latest Generation (9/2), Franz Kafka (10/1), Ursa Minor (14/1), Tell Me Thunder (16/1), Castlebar (18/1), Mondain (28/1), Ahesta Bero (33/1)

ROYAL MEWS is still unexposed and can strike on UAE debut for his new yard. Ajyaall is the percentage call to finish second, while Latest Generation can't be ruled out either.
