Forecasts

Anglo Saxson (2/1), Free Step (3/1), Dion Baker (5/1), Revolutionary Man (5/1), Swing To The Stars (9/1), Squeezebox (11/1)

FREE STEP made light of a 6-month lay-off when making a winning debut for Harry Eustace over C&D and can take another step forward now to follow up off a 2 lb higher mark. Anglo Saxson also arrives on the back of a recent C&D success and is feared most, although in-form pair Swing To The Stars and Revolutionary Man can both have a say too in a very open handicap.
