Forecasts

Al Maysan (5/6), Mount Pelion (5/1), Path Of Thunder (8/1), Prompting (10/1), Al Salt (14/1), Ahesta Bero (18/1), Eastern World (20/1), Mystery Land (22/1), Mystique Moon (33/1), Above Normal (33/1), Mailshot (33/1), Moqtarreb (40/1), Gabr (50/1), Seniority (66/1), Hakeem (66/1), Deep Intrigue (66/1)

PROMPTING was thoroughly progressive in the UK last year and is taken to strike on UAE debut. Al Maysan also makes the shortlist, while Mystery Land isn't out of it either.
