Forecasts

Real Appeal (4/1), Mudlahhim (9/2), Leadership Race (6/1), Wonder Elzaam (7/1), Silver Service (10/1), Breaking Story (12/1), San Andreas (14/1), Luke Short (16/1), Godhead (16/1), Pulse Of Shanghai (18/1), Turbine (18/1), Juyush (20/1), Dream Today (25/1), Geological (33/1), Lamloom (33/1), Royal Pippen (80/1)

Plenty with chances but LEADERSHIP RACE hails from a stable in excellent nick so gets the nod racing off the same mark as when an excellent recent second at Dundalk. Juyush is weighted to have a big say and looks the main danger despite his near four-month lay-off, with Pulse of Shanghai another well worth considering too.
