Verdict
Calliope has had wind surgery since disappointing at Kelso. Dis Donc only won a seller at Wetherby and Adherence looks one-paced but Thatbeatsbanagher won here in February and Goldrapper and Franks Fancy are both better than form figures would suggest. ANNIES PRAYER always seems to attract market support and probably ran his best race so far here in January so might be worth one more chance, though Punta Prima appears to be on the up and wears cheekpieces today.
