Forecasts

Arabian Tribe (8/11), Sunny Street (2/1), Ghostlore (7/2), Bur Dubai (4/1), Trois Blancs (40/1), Candle Wax (50/1), Scrum (66/1), Succeed (100/1), Profitman (150/1), I Am The Fox (200/1)

Those with experience don't set the bar that high so it may pay to narrow this down to well-bred newcomers ARABIAN TRIBE and Ghostlore. The preference is for the former who is a half-brother to the high-class Barney Roy among others and hails from a stable with 31% strike-rate here.
