Forecasts

El Salvaje (15/8), Born A King (7/2), Transcript (5/1), Molinari (7/1), Princess Bride (8/1), Union Spirit (8/1), Oslo (14/1), Old Harbour (16/1), Wise Eagle (22/1)

EL SALVAJE is lightly raced and was only just touched off over C&D last month. He should be able to find enough improvement to get off the mark. Born A King won well at Lingfield when making all and should be involved once again under a penalty. Union Spirit, behind that rival there, also has solid each-way claims.
