Beverley Race 5 - 140Th Year Of The Watt Memorial Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
ANNIVERSARY (3) twice placed from six starts since recording a 0.75L winning debut at Newmarket. Returned from a long break with back-to-back fifth place finishes tackling the trip at Lingfield and Kempton. Fitter now and a bold bid looms eased in grade. Course and distance winner SAX APPEAL (4) is three from five under Callum Shepherd and three from seven in blinkers. Rates highly. ELYSIAN FLAME (2) boasts three turf successes and warrants consideration racing first-up. CHARGING THUNDER (1) proved successful three times attempting this level. Might feature under the in-form apprentice Mason Paetel.

Last start ran last of 12 at Newcastle All Weather on April 3 over 3300m, 32 len behind Berkshire Sundance carrying 58.5kg at $41. The start before that ran last in a small field at Wolverhampton on March 13 over 2800m, 4.5 len behind Brasil Power with 60.5kg at $8. Capable of much better and deserves another chance.
