Forecasts

Guarding The Wall (3/1), Strata (7/2), Munchkin (4/1), Wordsworth (9/1), Ravilious (10/1), War Sword (12/1), Aquila Gold (12/1), Bompas (12/1), Global Banker (16/1), Cruzador (22/1), Lucky Spirit (28/1), Resurgence (33/1), Samthewiseman (33/1), Decree (33/1), Axel Collins (33/1)

GUARDING THE WALL is narrowly favoured all things considered but will need everything to fall right. Munchkin is probably the sternest threat, while Wordsworth edges it as the selection for third.
