Verdict
Anythingtoday is having a first run for a new yard and usually races over much further. Eevilynn Drew also faces a tough task against the three-year-olds having been beaten in lesser company in his last three starts. Ghost Rider has finished last in both starts so far on Turf so this looks a match between BONNYRIGG and Ranchero. Unexposed, the latter will probably start favourite given connections but the former was a winner on his only previous try over this trip and the drying ground is in his favour.
