Forecasts

Sovereign Prince (3/10), Alkaamel (8/1), Zero To A Hundred (8/1), Zainhom (9/1), Zaman (20/1), Perfect Love (20/1), Tamborrada (25/1), Lucius Tiberius (33/1)

SOVEREIGN PRINCE has few miles on the clock and given his yard, shouldn't want for fitness, and can make a winning return. It may be close in behind, but Zaman can lead the way for minor money from Alkaamel.
