Anyasi

SPECULATIVE Advised 11/4 Est. 28%

5TH

Mr Fox says

Anyasi (SR 94, 11/4) is the second-highest-rated runner in the field and arrives on a sharp 3-11 form line — two consecutive wins after a third — with proven distance fitness (DistFit:+) and the backing of a 20%-strike-rate trainer in Roger Varian alongside jockey Ray Dawson (16%). The weight of 9-11 is fair for the SR carried, and the 11/4 market price implies ~27% probability which aligns closely with the multi-signal case here. The class rise (ClassMv:↑1) is the main caution, but the form and connections quality suggest the horse is progressive enough to handle it. Veblen Good's strong market move (Mkt:in37%) is noted but that runner carries a DistFit:- flag at 6f — a real concern — while Anyasi is proven at the trip. Each-way alternative: Veblen Good. Main danger: Veblen Good — Veblen Good (SR 95, the field's highest rating, Mkt:in37%) is clearly the most fancied runner and the market steam is significant — the DistFit:- at 6f is a concern but O'Meara's 11%-strike yard and Conor Whiteley's 18% record suggest connections believe the trip is workable today.
