Forecasts

Denis Anthony (5/6), Robusto (10/3), Bodygroove (4/1), Lionella (6/1), Greased Lightning (13/2), Dance Havana (16/1)

DENIS ANTHONY is building up a solid record and is taken to notch a second handicap win of the summer. Robusto, an AW winner here, promises to be suited by the slightly longer trip and is second choice ahead of last month's Windsor scorer Greased Lightning.
