        Verdict

        STAR ANISE bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories off a 5lb higher mark. Harry Dunlop's filly gets the vote given she's already beaten Sakhra and the subsequent 2m winner Rock Of Leon. Power Up continues to struggle off her current mark and Aurora Borealis gets first-time blinkers in the hope she can improve on her earlier woeful attempt at today's distance.
