ANNAF looks to have improved over the winter as he returned to action with a convincing victory in a tough handicap at Lingfield. He has every chance on these terms while Tinker Toy just edges it at the weights though 7f may prove his best trip and Tone The Barone has done most of his winning over the minimum distance. Kiwano made a winning reappearance here and is preferred to Aramis Grey while better is expected from Haziym on his second start for a new yard.
