ANYONECANHAVEITALL failed to capitalise on last month’s second at Pontefract in a couple of subsequent starts. But he’s dropped back down in class for this and Mark Johnston sent out last year’s winner. Northwest Frontier also drops in class but hasn’t raced for over a year and Dance To Paris makes more appeal having won over today’s trip on the all-weather last year. Stonific should also stay this far having won over hurdles but Lady Scatterley has only won a maiden so far.
