Forecasts

Connected (2/1), Min Till (7/2), Original Thinker (5/1), Chifa (11/2), Inverinate (13/2), Mostallim (12/1), Pessoa (25/1), Bishop's Glory (28/1), Iconic Knight (28/1), Spring Day (33/1), Reversion (100/1)

CONNECTED showed much improved form to get off the mark in cosy fashion on handicap bow over C&D 5 weeks ago and looks capable of defying a 5 lb rise. Chifa shaped better than the bare result here 12 days ago so is feared as he bids for a fifth C&D win, with Original Thinker another to consider.
