Forecasts

Alkhawaneej Boy (8/11), Blame It On Me (4/1), Qallaab (7/1), Rockesbury (10/1), Scoffsman (10/1), Knab Rock (16/1), Caledonian Gold (25/1), New Dream (25/1), Whatdoesnotkillyou (25/1), Lambrini Legacy (66/1), One For Brad (66/1)

After such a lengthy lay-off there are obvious risks with ALKHAWANEEJ BOY, however he is so far clear on what he showed last year that he remains very difficult to oppose. There's plenty making up the numbers so the draw may not have the usual effect and should the favourite fail to fire then on stable debut Qallaab rates the obvious beneficiary. Rockesbury can chase them home.
