11/4

Landed gamble in strange circumstances on debut for connections a fortnight ago in 4-runner 5f Chelmsford maiden, left in clear lead after 2f and unchallenged. 6f fine. Suspect he's well handicapped.

Forecasts

Marlay Park (5/2), Saatty (11/4), Ancient Times (16/5), Night On Earth (5/1), Secret Handsheikh (6/1)

SAATTY was rather gifted his first win on debut for new connections at Chelmsford a fortnight ago but still looks well handicapped on the pick of his efforts in Ireland and can follow up. Night On Earth was impressive when scoring at Chester and looks the obvious danger.
