Forecasts

Educator (1/1), Savvy Victory (4/1), Deauville Legend (5/1), Asean Legend (11/2), Bling On The Music (8/1), Shorts On (14/1), Badr (22/1), Battani (25/1), Fan The Flames (28/1)

EDUCATOR looked potentially useful when narrowly losing out in a bunched finish at Goodwood and should take the beating. Savvy Victory has a similar profile to the selection having left his debut well behind at Doncaster, while the market should reveal clues regarding the newcomers, Asean Legend appealing as much as any on paper.
