Forecasts

Kinver Edge (5/2), Important Mission (9/2), Lavaspin (11/2), Lytham St Annes (8/1), California Jumbo (9/1), Way of Wisdom (12/1), Lady Parma (12/1), Dahawi (14/1), Beachcomber Bay (20/1), The Song Of John (25/1), Trickbag (25/1), Adventurous (25/1), Quayside (28/1), Ejbaar (33/1)

This looks tougher for KINVER EDGE but he recorded an excellent effort on his latest run and is the the one to beat despite different circumstances. Stable-companion Lavaspin seems the primary challenger, while Lytham St Annes heads up those chasing third place.
