Forecasts

Elzaal (10/3), One Hart (4/1), Kraken Power (13/2), Enraged (8/1), Nellie French (17/2), Marwari (9/1), Primo's Comet (12/1), Another Angel (14/1), Imperial Khan (16/1), Mews House (18/1), Impressor (18/1), Araifjan (22/1), Shabaaby (25/1), Madam Arkati (100/1)

KRAKEN POWER shaped well when second to Nellie French last time and if he's not pressed for the lead this time he should be hard to pass. Elzaal, a C&D winner 3 weeks ago, is an obvious danger and Enraged is one of several others to consider in an open race.
