Verdict
ANYTHINGTODAY never looked like catching the winner at Salisbury on his debut but ran well to finish third from a high draw and finished clear of the rest. Commander Cole disappointed when favourite at Nottingham and steps up in trip along with Midaawi, placed in all three starts over 6f so far. Re Run was a well beaten fourth over today’s trip at Ayr on his introduction while You Look Different is a half-sister to three winners and is preferred to Titi Makfi of the newcomers.
