In depth
Verdict
Anjo Bonita earned an official rating of 76 after her four placed efforts last summer and she led for most of the way on her final start over a mile at York. LIBERALIST was beaten a long way into second on her debut at Newmarket but did much better on her next start on soft ground on a return visit. Normal progress can see her off the mark. Congruent has a fitness advantage having been beaten two lengths over a mile at Newcastle though may find this on the short side but the remainder with experience will need to improve to get involved. Classic Puzzle is a half-sister to four winners and is one to note in the market.
