Forecasts

Al Qudra (8/15), Hallasan (7/2), The Fingal Raven (8/1), Castle Gates (9/1), War Bear (33/1), Desert Shadow (33/1), Blewburton (33/1), Sarhan (40/1), Almonaady (50/1), Nedawy (66/1)

Verdict

AL QUDRA sets a good standard on the pick of his 2-y-o form and should take a bit of stopping. His stablemate Hallasan is the one likely to give him most to do. Castle Gates didn't take to dirt last time but can resume his progression back on turf and complete a Godolphin clean sweep.
