Forecasts

Lahfaty (6/4), Jumaira Bay (11/4), Thawban (9/2), Haasim (7/1), Al Arbed (9/1), Zawaaya (16/1), Gamekeeper (28/1), Al Muzn (28/1), Atlantic Sky (40/1), Trip To Rome (40/1)

AL ARBED is generally a consistent sort and could prove hard to catch with De Sousa in the saddle. Thawban can come out best of the rest, while Lahfaty merits respect also.
