Forecasts

Smart Charger (7/4), Hill Spirit (5/1), Placated (5/1), Total Lockdown (7/1), Hidden Pearl (15/2), Kissininthebackrow (17/2), Henry The Fifth (20/1), A Poet's Secret (66/1), Unification (125/1)

SMART CHARGER showed a good attitude to score over C&D last time and he's unexposed as a stayer, so he gets the nod over fellow last-time-out winner Placated, who also has plenty to recommend her. Hill Spirit is also considered.
