Annina beat little on her racecourse debut at Lingfield last season but did so by six lengths and the betting may give the best clue as to what's expected on her belated return. Gworn is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring at Leicester and Woody Bay is lumbered with the same problems having won at Redcar last week. Maiden winner Cupertino has plenty of scope and is preferred to Mr Fiztroy and Yarroom but it's top weight HAY DUDE that gets the nod. Elaine Burke's colt ran well in better company at Ayr on his latest start and scored over track and trip the last time he raced in this grade.
