Irish raider Anonymous Lady has been in good form and won a lower grade handicap over track and trip last month with Blue Sonic well beaten but is 10lb higher today. Soie D'leau has been placed in both starts so far this year and should go well again while Bapak Asmara finished ahead of Desert Ace when third on his comeback at Thirsk and can be given a chance. CLASSY ANNE should be sharper for last month’s reappearance at Musselburgh and a chance is taken Jim Goldie’s mare can repeat last year’s success in this off a 6lb lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account.
