Forecasts

Hold Sway (4/6), Mudaarab (7/4), Warm Love (8/1), Silk Trader (100/1), Company Trader (100/1)

Market leaders have held a good record in this race - 6 of the last 10 winners have held an SP of 11/4 or less (three have also been odd-on favourites) - and this year's renewal is unlikely to break the trend if HOLD SWAY and Mudaarab run up to expectations. The former has dropped a couple of significant hints that he has a race of this nature well within his compass and he just edges the vote this time around. Warm Love is easily the best alternative.
