Forecasts

Anisoptera (9/4), Liberated Lad (5/2), Smith (3/1), Rendition (5/1), Three Dragons (7/1), Lovers' Lane (10/1)

This step back up in trip should suit ANISOPTERA, who did well under the circumstances when fifth over 13f here recently and she's on a good mark (1 lb lower than for her latest success at Kempton last summer). Smith boasts a fine record over this C&D and is feared most ahead of Rendition and fellow last-time-out winner Liberated Lad.
