Mere Anarchy could give a boost to Bennys King's Chepstow second in the previous race. Vive Le Roi won by 10 lengths over 2m here last month and will probably make a bold bid to defy his penalty but NEWSWORTHY (NAP) looks the one to be on. He came up against a decent novice when second at Doncaster in February and is the type to run up a sequence in this grade. Bilzic will be interesting when going handicapping and is preferred to Road To Rome and the returning Hills Of Dubai of the others.
