This has all the makings of a cracking contest and is a worthy feature race on the card. Barathea Blazer was far from disgraced against older horses last time and although he lost his unbeaten tag, he will have learnt from the run. Barman is another who should give a good account of himself but this looks much tougher than his victory at Warwick last month. Anna Walhaan has run well in the face of some difficult tasks and even though he is giving weight away all round, he could well hold them all off at the death.
