Kramnik will win the blindfold, I think
Morozevich for Blindfold
Anand of Rapids

I think Anand or Moro again.
Moro is the safe bet for blindfold. Anand for rapid and probably combined. Toughest challengers are Aronian and Kramnik.
I think Carlsen will do another fine tournament and end up in the upper half.
