Anisoptera ended last year with a double over today’s trip on the all-weather and is 7lb higher on her reappearance. Ivaquestion finished in front of And The New when placed in a lower grade over track and trip last week while Aldrich Bay and ARABESCATO attempt this longer distance for the first time. But the latter was beaten only a head over 1m5f here recently and as a half-brother to a couple of winners over 2m, he gets the vote with Ryan Moore taking over the reins.
