The progressive Anthem National scored at Newcastle before placing in a Listed contest at Lingfield last month. He’s preferred to the returning maiden winner Eldrickjones and has plenty in hand on these terms over Tuscan, Siamsa and Lord Vader. But Frankie Dettori partners AUDIENCE for his only ride on the card and the latter made a winning debut over course and distance in October with an impressive three-length success. He should prove competitive at this level and is taken to make a winning return.
