ANONYMOUS JOHN bids for a hat-trick after winning twice in heavy ground on the Turf. But he was placed here earlier and may well shrug off a hike in the weights having hacked up by 10 lengths last time. Anastazia is also chasing a treble with her latest win coming over track and trip and Dark Side Dream has been threatening to get his head in front in better company here of late. Cloak And Degas ran well at Kempton last time but this is much tougher.
