Forecasts

Mighty Potter (15/8), King Of Brazil (4/1), Hasty Brook (9/2), Wild Hunt (9/1), Noble Birth (10/1), Last Quarter (11/1), Princess Sophia (12/1), Charlie's Rockstar (12/1), Itwasfate (16/1), The Mixer Driver (22/1), Old Soul (33/1), Onesoc (50/1), Lurgoe (125/1), Barnacullia (150/1), Highlander Casseul (150/1)

Gordon Elliott is in very good form so MIGHTY POTTER gets the nod to make a winning debut under Jamie Codd. Noble Birth was a good second on debut so rates an obvious danger. Wild Hunt showed promise on his debut and is also respected. Princess Sophia and Itwasfate are other newcomers to note in the betting.
