DOUBLE: Anaya and Don't Panic.

Anaya has had a bout of seconditis of late but she can be cured of that particular ailment as she drops to handicap company at Wolverhampton.

Mick Channon has persisted in trying to find a maiden win for her but the Bet Asian Handicaps - Betdaq Nursery looks an eminently winnable opportunity.

The Toubougg filly did not hit the track until August and she did not show much in those first two outings before notching up four placed finishes in as many starts.

Anaya likes to make an early challenge in her races, which does leave her vulnerable to fast-finishing rivals, as shown at Wolverhampton last month.

She kicked on two furlongs out but just got edged out by a nose beneath the shadow of the post.

Merchant Of Medici was back in third that day and there is no reason to see why Anaya cannot confirm that form again.

Cape Quarter makes a belated return in Southwell's Hospitality At Southwell Racecourse Maiden Stakes and he is the one to follow.

A half-brother to German 2000 Guineas winners Dupont and Pacino, Cape Quarter has had just one start to date, finishing a close-up fifth at Lingfield last October.

He finished strongly that day after a slightly troubled passage and although he is returning from a long layoff, he would not have to be too good to win this moderate seven-furlong heat.

Al Amaan failed to sparkle on his sole start last term but the Weatherbys Bloodstock Insurance Introductory Hurdle at Ludlow could prove a nice starting point this time.

The four-year-old was a fair stayer on the level in France but he looked tapped for toe when racing over obstacles for the first time at Kempton in January.

He plugged on for fourth behind subsequent Grade One-placed runner Riverside Theatre so the form is pretty strong.

It would be no surprise to see him go well here.

Don't Panic was a classy flat runner on his day but he turned into a bit of monkey towards the end of his days on the level.

Winner of four starts, including the 2008 Spring Mile at Doncaster, Don't Panic refused to race on his last three starts, prompting his owner to draw stumps on the final occasion back in April.

Transferred to Ron Hodges and since given a break, the five-year-old started with no problems on his hurdling bow at Newton Abbot in September.

His finished lame that day, however, so his fifth place was all the more pleasing, particularly as he could have been closer still but for a bad jumping error down the back.

Off the track since then, Don't Panic should have sufficiently recovered to put up a bold show in the Morgan Ashurst Novices' Hurdle.
