Racing Post verdict
Third-partyAnzac Day holds a clear edge in our ratings over the two rivals here, with Something the obvious threat on a mark four pounds inferior. The longer trip at Pontefract over seventeen furlongs should play to Anzac Day's stamina, and the good-to-firm ground in a small three-runner field removes many variables. Division Day, rated a considerable 21 pounds below our selection, would need a significant step forward to trouble the principals. **Anzac Day** is the selection.
