Landed first turf win having won two on AW last year, when battling to short-head success at Windsor last time. 4lb higher but is in form and shouldn't be far away once again.

Been a decent handicapper in day and has shown a return to form off a lower rating with a win at Wolverhampton recently, either side of seconds at Newbury and Sandown. Return to 6f should suit.

Both wins have come on AW at Chelmsford and has appeared less effective on turf. Ran fair race off this mark when second at Windsor in May but has disappointed last two starts and has a point to prove at present.

9/2
Has been in good form this term since joining current yard and landed second 6f win when scoring over C&D on penultimate start. Not at best back at 5f last time but has a serious chance if reproducing recent winning run off 3lb higher mark.

Both wins came on AW this winter and has only had two chances on turf so far. Inexperienced rider takes off 7lb and on balance others are preferred here.

Two wins have both come at Bath and has looked a doubtful stayer at this trip from limited opportunities in the past. Down 8lb on start of campaign but more is needed than we've seen of late.

Verdict

ANONYMOUS JOHN has run hmself back into form over the last month and looks set to go well once again if in a similar mood. He knows how to win and looks to have solid credentials. Recent Windsor scorer Vegas Boy should make a race of it despite going up in the weights, and Porto Ferro is the other worth considering as he continues to thrive in his new surroundings. The other three all have it to do on recent evidence.
