In depth
Verdict
Josephine Gordon steered ANONYMOUS JOHN to victory at Wolverhampton last month and that pair get the vote to go in again raised only 2lb. Recent Brighton winner One Big Surprise is helped out by her rider’s allowance and Athassel scored on the all-weather recently when beating subsequent winner Tavener. Golden Wedding went close on the Polytrack here last time and Duke Of North was narrowly beaten at Brighton on his latest start so looks best of the rest.
