Anatar showed little last season but was handicapped accordingly and Martin Pipe's charge has been quick to take full advantage with recent wins at Newton Abbot and Plumpton. There should be nmore to come from this lightly raced performer who is the TEAMtalk selection to overcome a subsequent 4lb rise. Jaybeedee looked a useful prospect when scoring comfortably at Uttoxeter in March but was disappointing later in the month and has not been seen since. Kim Bailey's charge could need this and is best watched on this occasion while Cruagh Express was beaten in a seller last time and faces no easy task at this level and Corroboree looks poor on the evidence to date.
