Forecasts

Sadaaty (11/10), Qareeb (7/2), Majestic Pride (7/1), Tenbury Wells (16/1), King Ottoman (18/1), Remaadd (20/1), Remorse (22/1), First Ruler (25/1), Clapton (25/1), Alfareeq (25/1), Crown Estate (28/1), Home Brew (28/1), Chianti (28/1), New Kingdom (33/1), Kafoo (40/1)

SADAATY quickly put a below-par effort aside last time out and just about appeals the most in this Group 3. Last year's winning connections are represented by Majestic Pride who can make the selection work the hardest, while Qareeb and Remaadd can fight it out for third.
