Forecasts

Anglo Saxson (6/5), Lenny's Spirit (4/1), McCann The Man (9/2), Dark Design (10/1), Shyjack (12/1), Red Evelyn (14/1), Hanoverian King (16/1), Eljaytee (28/1), Channel Packet (40/1), Amal (50/1)

LENNY'S SPIRIT proved well suited by the drop to 1m when a smooth winner at Nottingham and can go in again under a 5 lb penalty kept to this distance now. Dark Design didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Chelmsford City and is feared most, although course winner Anglo Saxson needs factoring in too.
