Forecasts

Cracksking (7/2), Fox Legacy (7/2), Champagne Prince (5/1), Wonder Legend (5/1), Fouroneohfever (11/2), Solomon (10/1), High Order (11/1), The Goat (12/1), Ensured (25/1), Youthful King (25/1), Educate (125/1)

WONDER LEGEND isn't fully exposed and got back on the up when runner-up at Kempton last month, so he's worth a chance to go one better at the possible expense of Youthful King, who scored at Lingfield last time. Solomon needs to put a poor run behind him but the return to this track is in his favour.
