OUR ANNIVERSARY showed glimpses of ability last season though still created a surprise when storming away with a heavy-ground handicap here last month. She's up 7lb but with conditions again in her favour can complete a double. Happy Company beat a big field at Navan in September and only just failed to follow up under 5lb extra at Galway so it's a surprise to see him 1lb lower. He must have a chance if ready after a break but British Art's two victories have been on Tapeta at Newcastle. Paved With Gold has also shown his best form on the all-weather but Song Of The Sky must have been showing something at home as she was well supported at Dundalk in February though never looked like winning after a slow start.
