Verdict

It's hard to get away from the credentials of ANCHOR MAN for the Paul Nicholls stable. The five-year-old struggled in Grade 2 company last time but he will have learned plenty from that experience and back down in class, he should take all the beating. Catamaran Du Seull is an interesting French recruit for Dr Richard Newland and is worthy of plenty of respect judged on his efforts over the channel. The perceived Paul Nicholls second string Black Valentine won well over C&D last time out and there's no obvious reason he won't get involved again. 1. Anchor Man 2. Catamaran Du Seuil 3. Black Valentine
