FormscanBy Alan Magee - ANNEXATION has won four times for current connections including over this course and distance on his penultimate start. That half-a-length defeat of Hightown Heights can be marked up as he was denied a clear run on a couple of occasions and the return to a mile should be in his favour. Skontonovski had the progressive Ampeson just over a length back in third when recording his fourth course win since September last week and there shouldn’t be much between the pair again. Zahee won twice over course and distance last year and still looks on a competitive mark, while Talbot joined Joseph O’Brien for three runs in the Racing League before finishing well on his Irish debut over seven here last month.
