Verdict

Anythingtoday bounced back to form on his latest outing when appreciating a drop to this level and his turn looks near. However, on this occasion he is conceding a lot of weight to Asian Angel and BRIARDALE. The former produced a career best on his return 11 days ago even though the tempo of the race suited the eventual winner. Chances are he needs further than this and as a result the selection gets the verdict having returned to form at Haydock after a lean 2018. A 6lb rise still leaves plenty of value in his current mark as the runner-up has scored since and he won a valuable prize off 90 in his prime.
