Forecasts

Royal Sands (11/4), Quiet Endeavour (10/3), Tahdeed (9/2), Celtic Striker (7/1), Ra'ad (15/2), Western Symphony (10/1), Perfect Balance (10/1), Fast Start (16/1)

Verdict

ROYAL SANDS is probably the safest recommendation. Tahdeed is a threat, while Celtic Striker is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
