ANNEXATION was safely held in the C&D handicap won by the re-opposing Lexington Knight at the end of May, but the 9-y-o is in better form now following close calls at Doncaster and Epsom the last twice. He is taken to deservedly get his head in front. Voix de Bocelli's record on this course is solid and he looks sure to give another good account, while the 3-y-o fillies Neoma and Manara can both be given a chance, despite the fact that they both failed to fire last time.
