Went to post early, gave problems loading, slowly into stride, soon recovered to lead near side of group, headed 2f out, soon ridden, hung left over 1f out, soon weakened op 2/1 tchd 7/4
A few with positive profiles on the surface, but NATIONAL ANTHEM is unexposed on the surface, and followed up his C&D novice win with an impressive success on his handicap debut last time. He's improving rapidly, and can defy a penalty. Hareem Queen is 12lb higher than for her handicap win here in November, but still ought to follow the selection home, with Zylan readily holding Airshow on latest running, and best of the rest.
