      Verdict

      Anisoptera and GOLD STANDARD have both been in in good form at a slightly lower level and can fight out the finish. The latter, just beaten stepping up to 2m last time, is probably better treated and can thwart the hat-trick bid of the former if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect. Nebuchadnezzar was far from disgraced over 1m4f here last month when making his all-weather debut and will be suited by the step up to 2m having won over hurdles. Amanto is 2lb lower than for his last success and pretty consistent so shouldn’t be far away.
