Verdict

Michael Herrington is getting a good tune out of his string at present and ANTHROPOLOGIST, who opened his account for the yard over C&D last time, looks the way to go. The manner of his performance that day suggests that this 4 lb higher mark will be manageable. King's School and Phoenix of Dreams should both be on the premises, while Call Me Betty and Criminal Shore are others to consider in a competitive handicap.

3	Right back to form for his new yard in recent starts, failing by a whisker at Southwell last month before going one better over this C&D 13 days later. Scored with more authority than the margins suggest on that occasion and a 4 lb rise probably underestimates him. 1st Pick 3 Anthropologist Jockey: Dylan Hogan Trainer: Michael Herrington J: Dylan Hogan T: Michael Herrington	100	-	-	-	15%	6/1

7	Course specialist who bagged a third C&D handicap last summer. Followed that with a series of creditable efforts in defeat and, though below par when last seen in December, his latest success here came on the back of a similar break and he's dangerous to discount. 2nd Pick 7 King's School Jockey: Warren Fentiman Trainer: Gemma Tutty J: Warren Fentiman T: Gemma Tutty	98	-	-	-	10%	10/1

10	Narrow winner of an 11-runner C&D handicap last month and wasn't beaten far when fourth of 11 to Anthropologist in another 15 days later. Solid each-way chance. 3rd Pick 10 Phoenix Of Dreams (Ire) Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: John & Sean Quinn J: Jason Hart T: John & Sean Quinn	97	-	-	-	12%	8/1
