In depth

Verdict

Anakar ran his best race to date in a Tipperary handicap last time and this isn't the toughest of races. But JOHANNA YEATS was narrowly beaten into third in a handicap at the same fixture and looks certain to get competitive so gets the vote over Zamond. The latter hadn't shown much until a better run in a Clonmel handicap last month though that was over 2m4f. Dalileo found 2m5f too far when favourite at Downpatrick after looking a likely future winner with a very close third at Ballinrobe.
