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.
