Forecasts

Legend Of Xanadu (8/11), Prairie Falcon (3/1), Bara Lacha (12/1), Fomo (12/1), Imenso (12/1), Little Edi (16/1), Fiery Bond (25/1), Howyadoin (40/1), A Day To Dream (66/1), Rievaulx Raver (200/1), Dante Star (200/1)

The market should prove highly informative in this juvenile novice, but LEGEND OF XANADU holds the clear edge on form and is taken to gain a deserved first victory after three solid placed efforts. Newcomers Prairie Falcon and Little Edi are both in good hands and appeal on paper too so could prove the biggest threats to Mick Channon's colt in that order.
