Forecasts

Lion's Mane (4/1), Kaatibb (9/2), Ghost Of The Mambo (13/2), Vasilakos (17/2), Homespin (9/1), Alla Mahlak (10/1), Ranchero (10/1), Shake Hand (10/1), Tolmount (14/1), Prompting (14/1), One Idea (16/1), Silver Jubilee (20/1), Melicertes (25/1), Global Conqueror (33/1)

LION'S MANE has made a good start to his career in the UAE and looks to be the safest option in an open race. Ghost Of The Mambo seems the principal challenger, while One Idea looks another to be reckoned with.
