The Premier League may be failing to deliver late-season intrigue in anything other than the race for sixth place, but the Championship isn't a league which does boring finishes.

Jorge Mendes' pet project Wolves have confirmed their return to the top flight, but with three weeks of the season to go, at least eight teams can still be said to harbour realistic promotion hopes.

With a game in hand and a point advantage over third, Neil Warnock's Cardiff City look a good bet to tie up second place. But who has their noses in front in the race for the play-offs, and who will fall on the final straight?
