Forecasts

Brontology (4/1), Mulfit (9/2), Kanood (5/1), Mudallel (6/1), Dalaalaat (9/1), Sanad Libya (12/1), Lady Snazz (16/1), Far Sky (18/1), Dublin Pharaoh (18/1), Anizzah (22/1), Rougher (22/1), Champit (22/1), Ahesta Bero (25/1), Talo (28/1), Attribution (28/1), Welford (33/1)

Another highly-competitive affair, and while SANAD LIBYA isn't the most trustworthy, he's now lurking on a fair mark. Mulfit can get the better of the others for second, while Kanood is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
