Forecasts

Lady La Fay (2/1), Knightswood (3/1), Educator (3/1), Kitsune Power (11/2), Perfectly Timed (7/1), Clansman (7/1)

EDUCATOR is firmly back on track post breathing operation, supplementing his Lingfield win at Windsor, and given he retains handicap scope on old form, the hat-trick may well be on the cards. Perfectly Timed and Clansman are a couple of potential threats.
