Forecasts

Shake Hand (7/2), Kaatibb (9/2), Triple Venture (11/2), Al Maroom (11/2), Hyde Park (15/2), Aldhaja (8/1), Made In Dubai (12/1), Mayaadeen (14/1), Golden Arch (16/1), Yurman (22/1), Pitcher's Point (28/1), El Introvertido (40/1)

TRIPLE VENTURE looks to have just about the best credentials but i's a competitive race. Aldhaja can also play a major role, while Shake Hand, who was just behind the selection on return, is also an interesting runner.
