Forecasts

Sakheer (1/2), Tafreej (11/2), Kitbag (7/1), Attaj (15/2), Capital Offence (20/1), Classic Order (28/1), Acai (33/1), Royal Cay (33/1), Protest Rally (50/1), Barrolo (100/1), Dream Frontier (125/1), Outrace (150/1)

Expensive breeze-up buy SAKHEER was unable to justify skinny odds at Windsor on debut, but he still shaped like a useful prospect (pulled clear with the winner) and he sets the bar pretty high here. Penalised-winner Kitbag can follow him home, though all 3 newcomers need keeping an eye on.
