Forecasts

Persian Queen (5/4), Mere Accountant (9/2), Jered Maddox (13/2), Akmaam (15/2), Starting Monday (8/1), Eloquent Arthur (10/1), Secret Spy (11/1), Giuseppe Cassioli (12/1), Any Dream Will Do (14/1), Notforalongtime (14/1), Zahee (14/1), Who Not What (16/1), Toriangel (16/1), Monzoon (16/1), Comfort Line (18/1), Gunsight (20/1), Big Baby Bull (20/1), Sirjack Thomas (22/1), Dark Note (28/1)

There's likely more to come from SECRET SPY now making a quick switch to handicaps so he's the suggestion in this very open apprentice event. Mere Accountant has a similar profile to the selection and is second choice ahead of Jered Maddox and Starting Monday.
