Anipa sets the standard with an official handicap mark of 74. She appeared not to stay 1m2f when last seen at the track in September but had gone close over shorter trips before that. TARRAFAL makes more appeal, however, as he wasn't beaten far by the 82-rated Lungarno Palace on his racecourse debut over track and trip last month and normal progress can see him off the mark. The remainder are hard to fancy on their form to date though Lindart came in for some support on his debut and better is expected from the Hannon colt today.
