Annaluna's last run over hurdles was in a seller but she's won twice on the Flat since so is worth a second look here under the talented Harry Bannister. But we prefer ROLLING DOUGH, who hasn't been far away in two recent starts here over 2m and is worth another try over this longer trip. Mount Vesuvius and Prince Pippin are starting to look well treated but Kozmina Bay was pulled up at Chepstow after winning a small race at Ffos Las and is less favourably handicapped.
