In depth

Verdict

Anjella, who completed a double when scoring here then found softish conditions against her at Brighton, was engaged in the 4.45 at Ffos Las yesterday. Bobby On The Beat is invariably well supported though has never won but Carbon Positive made all at Brighton before running poorly at Chelmsford where he couldn't get to the front early. Impeller didn't enjoy ground with some give at Ripon after a narrow defeat at Pontefract but TRUTH IN JEST will take some beating. A double winner on fast going at Thirsk and Redcar, he just couldn't hang on in softer conditions at Ripon and this surface can see him back in the winner's enclosure.
