ANIKNAM's third to Kylemore Lough when favourite at Wetherby looked disappointing at first glance. But the latter has since won again and is now rated 140. Philip Kirby's charge gets the nod to make amends in this ahead of a similar type in Sir Vinski, a maiden hurdle winner here but only fifth on his handicap debut at Sandown. Make It Happen and Monbeg River finished practically upsides when filling the places at Newcastle last month and are hard to separate on that showing.
