Forecasts

Nyaar (3/1), Border Edge (4/1), Elraaed (11/2), Elusive Terry (7/1), Mayaadeen (15/2), Triple Venture (10/1), Desert Safari (12/1), Al Maroom (16/1), Resolute Man (16/1), Al Muzn (18/1), Shanty Star (40/1), Imprison (50/1), Chief Scribe (50/1), My Kinda Day (66/1)

Verdict

NYAAR looks marginally the pick of this bunch but will need everything to fall right. Debut winner Elusive Terry makes appeal switching to handicaps and could be the leading challenger, while Border Edge is perhaps the most interesting of the others.

  1. Nyaar3/1
  2. Elusive Terry7/1
