Akaraka²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ross Coakley| T: M L W Bell

12/1

Ghaiyyath colt. Encouraging seventh of 9 in maiden (13/2) at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 27 days ago. Open to improvement.

Eighth Immortal²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Jack Jones| BF

11/10

Sent off 2/1 and shaped well when second of 9 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 27 days ago, travelling smoothly for a long way. This son of Naval Crown looks to have more to offer. That form is working out well so he's a big player.

Form: 2

Regency Royal

3/1

Foaled March 7. €55,000 yearling, Calyx colt. Dam, 9f winner (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to smart 2-y-o 7f/1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Rock My Love. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for top yard.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: James Owen

16/1

Shaped well when a debut third at Beverley but came in last of 14 in Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f) 22 days ago. Hood back on and remains with potential.

Towelontheterrace²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J Candlish

Blackbeard colt who made an encouraging start with third of 9 in novice over C&D 28 days ago. Can build on it.

50/1

Inns of Court gelding who built on debut tenth when fifth of 11 in novice at Thirsk (6f) 9 days ago. May do better still.

Form: 05

Lincoln Warrior²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jonny Peate| T: I Furtado

14/1

Left his debut form well behind when second of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (6f) 24 days ago. Holds solid form claims.

16/1

Ardad colt came in second in maiden at Windsor (6f) on debut but only tenth of 12 in novice at Nottingham (6f) 37 days ago. Worth another chance.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: H Palmer

40/1

12/1, seventh of 11 in novice at Bath (5.7f) on debut 9 days ago. This Soldier's Call filly can take a step forward.

Form: 7

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Zak Wheatley| T: Craig Lidster

9/1

Profitable filly came in fifth of 9 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good to soft) on debut 49 days ago. Sort to do better in due course.

Forecasts

Eighth Immortal (11/10), Regency Royal (3/1), Maximus Meridius (11/2), Profitability (9/1), Towelontheterrace (10/1), Akaraka (12/1), Lincoln Warrior (14/1), True Charm (16/1), Sydney Carton (16/1), Soldier's Echo (40/1), Court Legend (50/1), Havana Cohiba (100/1), Hey Dougie (150/1)

A few of these bring potential, not least Jack Jones' EIGHTH IMMORTAL who can build on a promising debut Leicester second and get off the mark. Sydney Carton could emerge as the main danger now his sights are lowered, although Andrew Balding's debutant Regency Royal and Ayr debut runner-up Maximus Meridius also enter calculations. Lincoln Warrior completes the shortlist.
