Most of these have been taking each other on of late. TOP SET finished a couple of lengths ahead of My Anchor when runner-up at Lingfield last month and gets a speculative vote on that form. Hidden Asset is usually thereabouts off his current mark and Jazri has gone close the last twice and also has the beating of My Anchor and Tornado Battle. Kristal Hart won at Bath last year before scoring in Jersey and Highly Likely went close over track and trip in October.
