Ed Dunlop makes the 740 mile round trip from Newmarket here with the lightly raced expensive purchase ANNEXATION and he couldn't have found the three-year-old an easier opening on handicap debut so he is worth chancing now with the step up to 7f expected to bring about improvement. C&D specialist Royal Duchess is likely to make a bold bid to follow-up her win last time and Prince Of Time is also shortlisted after bouncing back latest at Carlisle.
