Forecasts

The Anvil (3/10), Iron Mountain (4/1), Modern Approach (13/2), You Will Do For Me (8/1), Mauricio (14/1), Schindlers Ark (20/1), Downtown Rebel (33/1), Alfred Elmore (50/1)

A son of Galileo, this looks an ideal opportunity for THE ANVIL to open his account. He was in the choppy waters of the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster when last seen and, given his official rating, it should take a really strong performance to deny him in this grade. His trainer is two-handed with Iron Mountain also likely to build on his maiden run over 7f here in October. The booking of Smullen adds some intrigue to Schindlers Ark while You Will Do For Me could challenge for minor honours and the filly Modern Approach is very much respected on bow for her master-trainer.
