Forecasts

Welsh Lord (7/4), Mudallel (5/1), Secret Trade (11/2), Big Kitten (11/2), Miller's House (6/1), Homespin (8/1), Karnavaal (10/1), Untold Secret (12/1), Habah (12/1), Three Weeks (16/1), Tradesman (16/1), Knockacullion (18/1), Mulfit (20/1), Twelfthofneverland (22/1), Harbour Dance (28/1), Faadhel (50/1)

WELSH LORD has been hard to fault in recent races and seems likely to take the beating. Miller's House is just about preferred for second, while UAE newcomer Homespin also requires respect.
