Forecasts

Al Dasim (15/8), Sunny Orange (2/1), Al Khazneh (5/1), Match Play (8/1), Kingsbury (12/1), I Still Have Faith (12/1), Twayblade (33/1), Secret Mistral (40/1)

A field of newcomers and the market should offer further clues, but AL DASIM makes plenty of appeal on paper and his stable sent out a recent juvenile winner. Al Khazneh is bound to be popular for Godolphin, though his dam was a middle-distance winner. Sunny Orange is another likely sort.
