Forecasts

Desert Castle (1/2), Farasan (5/1), Sommood (6/1), Hierax (10/1), Netherstream (12/1), My Boy (16/1), Nidal (50/1), Re Shardana (500/1)

This is nearly always an informative newcomers event and Group-1 entrant DESERT CASTLE appeals most for a yard that has a good record in this. Farasan and Sommood are from stables that have their 2-y-os well forward so are feared most, though the market should prove to be informative.
