Forecasts

If Not Now (15/8), Gregory (5/2), Maxident (11/4), Knockbrex (10/1), Port Jackson (11/1), Sutue Alshams (20/1), Allo Al Khawaneej (40/1)

Verdict

MAXIDENT was an emphatic debut winner and, while the ground at Leicester was undoubtedly a factor, he's worth a chance to confirm the promise and maintain his unbeaten record. Gregory has an impeccable pedigree and looks a noteworthy newcomer, while improvement is expected from both Knockbrex and If Not Now, who also shoulder penalties.
