Forecasts

I Doubt That (11/4), Thunder Flash (4/1), Placated (4/1), Yorktown (13/2), Savoy Brown (7/1), Ilhabela Fact (15/2), Bug Boy (10/1), Lucky Draw (16/1), Famous Dynasty (28/1), For Love Of Louise (40/1), Breguet Boy (40/1), Grandscape (66/1), Settle Petal (80/1), Patrioctic (150/1)

SAVOY BROWN ran as well as he has in a long time at Lingfield recently, despite making his effort a shade earlier than ideal in a soundly-run affair, so he's an appealing candidate on the back of that performance. Lucky Draw and Placated are a couple of potential threats in an open race.
