Anak heads 54 in Plate

Dual Chester Cup winner Anak Pekan heads a list of 54 horses left in Saturday’s John Smith’s Northumberland Plate at yesterday’s five-day stage.

Michael Jarvis’ five-year-old will have to shoulder top weight of 9st 10lb if he runs at Newcastle as both Mr Dinos and Fight Your Corner have been taken out after running in the Ascot Gold Cup last week.
