Forecasts

Paradise Lost (16/5), Tannery Park (4/1), Lady Kai (11/2), Butterfly Garden (12/1), Molly Hall (14/1), Charlie Darling (14/1), Eagles Reign (14/1), Futurum Regem (14/1), Red Secret (16/1), Elzaamsan (16/1), Bynx (16/1), Alex The Great (16/1), Enquire Within (20/1), Grann's Boy (20/1), Susiesparkle (22/1), Velvet And Vine (28/1), Whispering Hopes (28/1), El C Wells (33/1), Breagagh (40/1), Construct (50/1), Wendell's Lass (66/1), Penny Jar (66/1), Tenth Amendment (100/1), Santa Catarina (100/1)

A big field but the eye is drawn to EAGLES REIGN, who was talented enough to finish second in a Fred Winter and on that basis, his Flat mark looks very lenient back from a break. Elzaamsan and Paradise Lost are a couple of potential threats.
