Verdict
ANIF has won four times here including from higher marks. He's been running well since scoring at Southwell in November and can get back on the winning trail. He was beaten a head by Wadacre Grace on that track the same month but can gain revenge on slightly better terms. Like A Lion was a surprise course and distance winner in December but hasn't run as well subsequently while Abnaa couldn't handle stepping up to Class 4 at Wolverhampton after completing a double at this grade. Kapono has managed to win six races but is 9lb higher than his latest success.
