Forecasts

Living Legend (2/1), Chinese Alphabet (3/1), Debbonair (3/1), Surrey Warrior (6/1), All Points West (12/1), Indian Copper (16/1), Green Etoile (25/1), Run Ashore (50/1), Barsa Kelmes (50/1), Areen Omar (66/1)

Not too much in the way of form to go on for Division 1 of this 1m maiden auction stakes. Silvestre De Sousa takes over in the saddle aboard LIVING LEGEND, who ran far better than the finishing position implies on debut when 6L fifth to a stablemate (Eesha's Smile) at Bath ten days ago. He holds as good a chance as any on paper, and without the distinct benefit of market signals to consider rates as the safest advice. Others to respect include Surrey Warrior, Chinese Alphabet and Debbonair.
