Forecasts

Mersaal (7/2), Silver Jubilee (9/2), Al Maroom (5/1), Miami Joy (13/2), Down On Da Bayou (9/1), Street Mood (9/1), Papacito (16/1), Tahdeed (18/1), Grand Dubai (20/1), Scabbard (20/1), Ranchero (22/1), Way of Wisdom (25/1), Gareth (25/1), Cocobai (33/1)

Verdict

The unbeaten MERSAAL is lower mileage than his rivals and is fancied to complete the hat-trick. Silver Jubilee appeals as the biggest threat, while Al Maroom should also be on the premises.
