18/1

Forecasts

Tyrrhenian Sea (5/4), Base Note (7/2), Blanchland (7/2), Makinmedoit (15/2), Alrehb (14/1), Verbier (18/1), Youthful King (40/1), Zarabanda (100/1)

BASE NOTE and Tyrrhenian Sea are closely matched on form but the former is more consistent and, from a good draw, he gets the marginal vote. Blanchland is another player and Makinmedoit has a good record at the track, so she can't be dismissed.
