Anquetta has been a good servant to Nicky Henderson but is not always easy to predict. The talented mare landed a decent prize last time when outpointing Woolcombe Folly in a well-contested Worcester handicap. The booking of Sam Waley-Cohen helps offset her penalty for that success but she still has to concede 13lb to FIFTYONEFIFTYONE. The Sherwood charge has relished the return to quick ground and was most impressive when making all over course and distance last time. Expect similarly forcing tactics to be employed once again. Master Matt is a solid sort whilst Green Belt Elite, pulled up on his first start after three years off, was previously a steeplechaser of considerable merit so check him out in the market here.
