Forecasts

Kondratiev Wave (5/6), Mudlahhim (10/3), Split Elevens (7/2), Edmund Ironside (14/1), Vitesse Du Son (22/1)

The vote goes to MUDLAHHIM, who has been knocking on the door at this course in recent months and has slipped to a career-low mark. Edmund Ironside could be the one to give him most to think about, with Kondratiev Wave also likely to be involved in the finish.
