Anna Panna gets the vote here with Twist The Facts and Nobodys Perfect rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Misbehaviour last time out. That form has since been franked and in what is an easier race under conditions that suit she will be hard to beat. Twist The Facts rates the main danger on his latest second behind Tesenoora but he has had plenty of chances and is becoming hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Nobodys Perfect was a fair second behind Woodford Consult last time but that form has since been let down so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Saraba is one of the least exposed in the field and is open to some improvement but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over further. Of the remainder Beautiful Night ids from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Anna Panna.
