Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f) in January; that form puts him in the picture but he hasn't threatened back on turf in last two runs and overall record is now 1-29.

Verdict

They might have dropped on the right trip with STAR OF ATLANTIS who finished strongly from off the pace to collect at Southwell. Match Anthem is on a hat-trick but Neptune Legend earns second preference with the return of headgear a plus for him.[Alistair Jones]
