103 Expert View: Improved down in class landing a handicap by 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; best at 12-16f these days, acts on good to firm and AW; thriving this winter on AW but career high mark to defy.
100 Expert View: Landed a Watergate Cup Handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Chester penultimate start; top course trainer; suited by 2m, acts on any, goes well at Chester; in excellent form, admirable campaigner has never won off a mark this high.
93 Expert View: Yard won this last year; ran to current level when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle latest; effective 14f, acts on good to soft, good to firm; in moderate form but mark dropping at least.
98 Expert View: Needed more experience to mix it up at the level beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; top course trainer; stays 2m, acts on good to soft, good to firm; progressive, more to come, increase in mark is severe.
102 Expert View: Poorly placed off steady pace, ran to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; stays 16f, acts on AW, likes give on turf; on last winning mark, can go well again with step up in trip a plus.
91 Expert View: Ran to form beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 12-16f, acts on good to soft, good to firm, AW; continues to run well without winning and mark keeps creeping up.
100 Expert View: Outpaced, ran to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; effective 8-14f, best at the longer trips, acts on heavy and good; type with more to offer as a 4yo now stamina is proven.
88 Expert View: Outpaced, below form up in class beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 11-14f, latter may suit best, sound surface suits; this trip more suitable but likely to struggle from out of weights.
Verdict
ANNIVERSARY was just behind Spirit Mixer last time but he was coming off a long absence that day. Now his stamina for 2m he is expected to reverse that form if ridden more positively and take advantage of what looks a generous mark based on his novice form. He's open to improvement for top connections and is taken to defeat Brasil Power who has been thriving on the AW over the winter as his trip increases. His mark also does though so he will need another career best to take this. Of those at bigger prices Sheradann is of some interest having dropped back to his last winning mark. He has been running back into form recently and his latest run over a sharp enough trip is worth marking up as he was poorly placed to challenge.
