Forecasts

Figeac (2/1), Nebuchadnezzar (2/1), Anisoptera (2/1), Gold Standard (5/2), Dynali (7/1), Amanto (10/1), Landsman (33/1), Enmeshing (66/1), Persuer (80/1)

ANISOPTERA improved again when scoring convincingly over C&D 7 weeks ago and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Gold Standard arrives at the top of his game and rates the main threat ahead of Figeac.
