Forecasts

Educator (11/5), Electress (9/2), Pons Aelius (9/2), Sea King (5/1), Suzy's Shoes (6/1), Inverness (17/2), Caius Chorister (28/1), Graffiti (100/1)

SEA KING improved markedly at Sandown on his second run and sets the standard, with better still to come. Pons Aelius is well bred and the most interesting newcomer and highly respected, while Educator holds pattern-race entries and could well step up markedly from his underwhelming debut.
