Formscan - Appier had Bashful Boy two and a quarter lengths behind in third when he won over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton. However, the latter is 3lb better off and could turn things around. Even so, the well-handicapped EDUCATOR might be the answer. Open to improvement over this trip, the Henrietta Knight-trained seven-year-old is dangerous to underestimate, with the booking of Billy Loughnane a highly positive appointment.
