Forecasts

Bottler'secret (4/1), Retracement (5/1), Zoffman (6/1), Immutable (15/2), Genealogy (8/1), Sea Coral (10/1), Railwayview Lady (11/1), Navy Waters (12/1), Ob La Di (12/1), Londonofficecallin (12/1), Blake (16/1), Speckled Meadow (16/1), Not Just Any Eagle (18/1), Lips Freedom (22/1), War Rooms (28/1), En Or (33/1), Teed Up (50/1)

Andrew Oliver has his string in good nick and his improving filly RAILWAYVIEW LADY is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of a very good Down Royal second (winner gone in since). Zoffman is weighted to have a say and heads a big list of dangers, while Bottler'secret, War Rooms and En Or all command plenty of respect too. Retracement completes the shortlist.
