In depth
Verdict
Previous winner Mick Maestro was returning from a lengthy absence when fourth at Taunton but will again have to carry a penalty. ANEMOI is a half-brother to a Group 1 winner on the Flat so looks a nice type for bumpers. He might have too much speed for Rebel Royal, who is closely related to a winning hurdler. Mill Green represents a powerful yard but his pedigree is less appealing. Myboysam was second when well backed on his debut over course and distance in November and, with that experience under his belt, looks a threat to all.
