ANNEXATION (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at Doncaster, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the talent to produce a better result. CARNIVAL DAY (3) is back from a spell of six months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 2000m at Bath. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. MACARI (4) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by one length over 4110m at Plumpton. Fitter for that last hitout and is among the leading chances. PYROTECHNIC (5) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 2200m at Southwell All Weather. Well placed to make amends.
