A race to approach with caution as several of these have been very hard to win with of late. However, Annijaz does have some solid recent form to her name and she is preferred over the versatile Be My Tinker, Landofheartsdesire and Lady Pahia. The selection has been kept busy over the last month or so and has thrived on her racing as a result. Keith Dalgliesh, who gave her a power-packed ride when she was successful over a mile at Redcar earlier in the month, is reunited with the six-year-old mare. She is still on a fair mark and her consistency is taken to be the decisive factor here. Be My Tinker goes well at a variety of trips and is a candidate for cutting out the early running. But her form has dipped below her usual standard in her last three starts and she may have just lost her edge for the moment. a bigger danger could be Lady Pahia, who is dropping to a fair mark and is one to monitor closely; although she will undoubtedly be supported on her jockey booking alone. Dominion Rose appeals as one that could go well at decent odds if Annijaz is starting to feel the pinch after an arduous little spell.
