Forecasts

Harvest Gold (7/2), Abshrek (7/2), Celtic Voyager (11/2), Miqyaas (10/1), Will To Win (10/1), Dignity Joy (11/1), Ironside (11/1), Papacito (16/1), Chief Of Navy (16/1), Al Shibli (18/1), Madkhal (20/1), Aquaman (20/1), Manhunter (25/1)

ABSHREK is unexposed and should be bang there but it's an open race. Harvest Gold is holding his form well since switching back to turf and could be the one to take advantage if the selection underperforms, while Miqyaas and Dignity Joy can fight it out for minor money.
