Verdict

Lightly raced five-year-old DROP THE ANCHOR ran probably his best race over hurdles last time out and he looks to have been given a real chance now by the handicapper. Not far behind him at Galway was Future Proof and he too enters the equation now handicapping. Classy Gallant John Joe is also respected on his return to action.
