CLASSY ANNE has been threatening to get her head in front in lesser company and today could be her day. Redcar runner-up Bronze Beau is another to consider having slipped down the weights and Go Go Green has decent claims on his win in better company at Thirsk in August. Noodles Blue Boy and Ambitious Icarus are harder to fancy off their current marks but Eva Clare has plenty of scope returning from an absence.
