Forecasts

One Idea (4/1), Nibraas (9/2), Tahdeed (9/2), Zero To A Hundred (15/2), Mudaarab (15/2), Gareth (10/1), Boston George (14/1), Moorbik (14/1), Qareeb (16/1), Moqarrab (16/1), Aridity (16/1), Castashadow (33/1), Top Mission (50/1), Adventurous (80/1)

Verdict

ZERO TO A HUNDRED just about looks the one to be with. Tahdeed could emerge as the main challenger, while Mudaarab edges it for third.
