Forecasts

Royal Swan Master (11/8), Officer In Command (7/2), Nocturnal Flight (4/1), Trois Trois Quatre (4/1), Mvelelo (8/1), Zakho (9/1), Positive Attitude (10/1), Banzai Pipeline (10/1)

NOCTURNAL FLIGHT has marginally the best all-round profile but has little leeway if anything goes wrong. Mvelelo looks the most dangerous opponent, while Royal Swan Master edges it so far as third place is concerned.
