ANONYMOUS JOHN (NAP) is the highest rated of these and usually takes on much better opposition. His latest fourth at Windsor also looks the best piece of recent form on offer so he is difficult to oppose. Head Space is pretty consistent and is probably the danger, though he hasn't won in more than a year. Walking In Rhythm wasn't disgraced dropping back to this trip at Salisbury and should also go well while Majestic Myles and Pandar are also eased in grade. Wahaab ended a long losing run at Brighton on Monday but this looks tougher.
