Verdict
Annambo can follow up on his latest win at the expense of Mister Arjay and Penang Cinta. The selection was in winning form at Newbury earlier in the month and in the process ended a losing run of nearly two years. As a result he has been slipping down the ratings and could be a well handicapped horse now. He is running off a six pound higher mark now but we feel he could be one step ahead still. Mister Arjay has been consistent all year. He was in winning action at Redcar on his penultimate start and ran with credit when second to Oddsmaker last time out. He comes here in fine fettle so is one to note. As is Penang Cinta who has won three this year but looked to weighted up to his best when a beaten fourth at Chepstow last time out. So for the winner we return to Annambo as the likely winner.
