Martin Pipe's Anatar looked a horse to follow when scoring in decisive fashion at Sandown last month (beat We'LI Make It by eight lengths) and is taken to supplement that success despite racing off a 11lb higher mark here. Topweight Haditovski has gone up 4lbs for his respectable second to Valerio at Newbury last time and faces a stiffer task, as does Through The Rye, who was well held by Mister McGoldrick at Wetherby last time. Achilles Wings has an absence to overcome, neither Wild Romance nor Reggie Buck look good enough. Sossus Vlei has plenty of weight for what he has achieved on his handicap debut.
