Race preview

Anyharminasking improved once placed into handicap company last season, winning at Catterick and Sedgefield, but the form of those victories can be questioned, especially as he steps up in grade. Call Of The Wild appeals as having more to offer on his handicap debut, but the same owner's BROOMFIELD BURG gets the vote. Third in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow, the drop back in trip appears likely to benefit him and he may have further improvement on his second start after wind surgery. Hacker Des Places won at the Grand National meeting, with Washington back in third, and the pair are capable of being in the mix again.
