Verdict

Anshabil should have no worries following up on his recent Hereford win at the expense of Highland Chief and Iloveturtle. The selection will find this tougher as he has risen fourteen pounds for his last win which on paper looks harsh. He has had jumping problems in the past which is a concern but if putting his best foot forward he is taken to score once more. Highland Chief has mediocre form to his name and has failed to have sparkled of late but the trainer and jockey combination are always due respect. Iloveturtle won back to back races at Market Rasen and Wetherby over the Christmas period but has since then run poorly so looks one to aviod for the near future. So for the winner we return to Anshabil who we feel will score if putting in a clear round.
