Verdict

LITTLE BECK ANNIE was transformed by the fitting of cheekpieces when readily gaining a breakthrough victory at Carlisle and can make light of a 5 lb penalty here. Tommy McJohn could emerge as the main danger if, as expected, taking a step forward for Adrian Keatley, while JKR Cobbler and Ridgemaster can both have a say too in this open handicap.
