Verdict

NATIONAL ANTHEM won a novices' event here before scoring over track and trip on his handicap debut. He looked to win with plenty to spare last time and the hat-trick beckons for David Brown’s unexposed charge despite facing better opposition. Hareem Queen landed a double at the track at the end of last year and has gone close back here subsequently while Zylan has an impressive strike rate on this surface and won again here last week with previous course winner Airshow well beaten. Samovar could only manage fourth in last year’s renewal and is higher in the weights this time.
