Annsam

Selected at: 40/1

Annsam won his last hurdles start by five lengths back in April 2022 and this 6lb higher mark probably wouldn’t have stopped him that day. Evan Williams’ gelding has some smart chase form to his name and whilst his best efforts have come over further, the shorter trip may well suit on his first start after a lengthy absence.
