LIBERTY LANE posted one of the handicap performances of the season when landing a second C&D success in the Cambridgeshire a fortnight ago, travelling smoothly and quickening clear impressively. He's given the nod now his sights are raised in the hope this doesn't come too quickly for him. Lead Artist is the obvious danger following his excellent second behind Kinross at Doncaster. Ancient Rome and Al Mubhir complete the shortlist in the opener.
