ANNALEY MY DARLING made her reappearance with a modest third at Lingfield. Better is expected with that run under her belt and she has the beating of La Sylphe on today's terms. The latter has shown no progress in four starts this year but is still clear of the remainder at the weights. Of those, Tartan Blue won at Kempton in November and makes more appeal in a first-time visor than both Nors The Panic and Dalhousie Lassie, as neither of the latter pair have recorded any form worth a mention so far.
