Even by selling standards this looks a moderate race at best, but we'll side with ANNIA GALERIA who won a similar race on debut, but others to consider are Jessica Hayllar and Flashy Lover. Andrew Haynes' string are in fine form, and Annia Galeria was a decent winner on debut in a seller at Leicester last week, despite being three pounds overweight. That was over the minimum trip, and a repeat at this distance can't be ruled out, given the strong finish she's got within her. She's related to plenty of winners both here and abroad, and may turn out to be better than previously thought. Jessica Hayllar and Flashy Lover have had three runs without looking likely to land a blow; rather than go into nurseries they're in this sort of contest for a reason, but the Bell and Channon yards do well here, and any support would be encouraging. However we'll go with proven form, which often works out in this sort of race, and side with Annia Galeria.
