Forecasts

King Of Conquest (6/4), Aztec Empire (5/1), Vee Sight (13/2), Spinaround (7/1), Artaois (10/1), Umax (10/1), Hapap (14/1), Paradias (20/1), Shut Up Michael (28/1), Snapcracklepop (50/1), Land Of Eagles (125/1)

The vote goes to Godolphin's expensive-purchase KING OF CONQUEST but Spinaround, Umax, the only one of these with pattern entries later in the season, and Aztec Empire are likely types on paper in a race where the market is sure to provide more clues.
