Hard to have much confidence in any of this bunch. ANIERES BOY ended last season with a win at Beverley and Mick Easterby’s charge may be good enough off a 4lb higher mark. Munjally has just the one win in 26 starts and Monsieur Jimmy has yet to win on Turf in 16 attempts. Flyball has tumbled down the weights and finished a bit closer last time while Giant Spark has gone close off similar marks before and the same comment applies to Poppy In The Wind.
