Verdict
ANWAR beat an odds-on shot at Kempton last time only to be collared close home by the 16/1 outsider Rosealee. She gets another chance in this given Silk Bow never figured in the Brocklesby at Doncaster on her debut. Of the newcomers, Fashionable Spirit's breeding suggests she will be better over further so Princess Kodia could prove the main danger to the selection representing Brian Meehan's in-form yard.
