        Verdict

        Educator was only headed in the final strides when favourite at Goodwood earlier this month but SAVVY VICTORY possibly showed better form when also going close on his second outing at Doncaster. Sean Woods’ colt had some highly-regarded juveniles behind on Town Moor and a repeat effort here would probably suffice. Deauville Legend will need to improve on his fourth here to match those two and may do better over further next year. One of the newcomers will need to be smart to better those with experience but Bling On The Music was a 125,000gns yearling and Asean Legend cost £78,000 and is a full brother to a 7f two-year-old winner with all of the others having pedigrees suggesting they could win races.
