Forecasts

Western Symphony (4/1), Ebnzaidoon (9/2), Street Mood (13/2), Tahdeed (9/1), Hyde Park (9/1), American Dancer (11/1), Nibraas (11/1), Perfect Balance (11/1), Road Bloc (14/1), Invincibly (20/1), Al Jaddaf (25/1), My Swallow (25/1), Final Rock (25/1), Miami Joy (28/1), Mind Mapping (33/1), Junooh (40/1)

HYDE PARK looks marginally the best in this field but it's a very open race. He can lead home the Doug Watson trained pair American Dancer and Ebnzaidoon, whilst Tahdeed can't be discounted despite a wide draw.
