Forecasts

Shaladar (7/2), Law Supreme (4/1), Terries Royale (6/1), Little Empire (8/1), Double Time (9/1), Crystal Casque (9/1), Dakota Power (10/1), Obelix (10/1), Power Of Gold (11/1), Alazwar (20/1), One Step Beyond (22/1), Mumayaz (28/1), Master Of Combat (40/1), Desert Doctor (66/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but Irish raider LITTLE EMPIRE rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote. Mick Appleby's consistent Terries Royale could emerge as the main danger, although a solid case can also be made for last year's victor Crystal Casque and in-form pair Power of Gold and Mumayaz. Handily-weighted One Step Beyond completes the shortlist.
