Forecasts

Crystal Delight (8/13), Game Master (9/2), Dubai Leader (7/1), Awesome Dancer (12/1), Damascus Finish (14/1), Heatherdown Hero (20/1), Ehteyat (25/1), Inchbae (33/1), Eljenob (66/1), Knight's Gambit (200/1)

CRYSTAL DELIGHT holds the edge on form and looks to have more to offer too so he gets the nod. Awesome Dancer also has better days ahead of him after showing promise on his debut over C&D and is next on the lis,t with debutante Inchbae also worth considering, especially if the market speaks in her favour.
