Verdict
A disappointing turn out and with Constantine making little impact on his debut this looks a match between Annambo and Ballerina Suprema. The last-named holds an entry in the Fillies Mile and has the benefit of a previous outing when a highly encouraging third over this trip at Leicester earlier in the month. Entitled to be sharper for the experience, Michael Bell's charge is TEAMtalk's narrow choice over Annambo who makes plenty of appeal on breeding but the yard's youngsters have, on the whole, needed the run this term.
