Forecasts

Equality (10/3), Silky Wilkie (7/2), Marine Wave (13/2), Jm Jungle (7/1), Glorious Angel (9/1), Zarzyni (9/1), Fine Wine (10/1), Desperate Hero (14/1), Badri (16/1), Arnhem (18/1), Arecibo (20/1), Blind Beggar (25/1), Michaela's Boy (28/1), Running Cool (33/1), Londoner (40/1), Rock Melody (66/1), Be Proud (100/1)

Lots with chances but JM JUNGLE can race off the same mark as when going in at Sakhir last time so edges the vote. C&D winner Silky Wilkie heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Blind Beggar, Arecibo and Glorious Angel in a very open sprint.
