Forecasts

Maximal (2/7), Conquering Eagle (15/2), Albert Camus (10/1), Set Point (10/1), Toromona (12/1), Without Revenge (25/1), Spirit Mixer (50/1), Wink Of An Eye (50/1), Arthur's Angel (80/1)

MAXIMAL sets a very high standard having finished runner-up in a couple of warm events at Newbury and over 7f here and should prove hard to beat. Toromona is the obvious threat given his yard's record with 2-y-o newcomers.
