FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - J P McManus’ DROP THE ANCHOR could dominate four others in the green and gold, and the others in the field might well have a rear view of Pat Fahy’s runner too come the finish. Simon Torrens and this Shantou gelding bagged Ladbrokes money when taking away a hefty Grade B prize at Listowel, and it’s quite likely that more bookmaker ‘readies’ are on their way to connections this time, courtesy of Bar One. Drop The Anchor was brought down two out at Down Royal, and hopefully better fortune will befall him now. All told there aren’t too many that one would be readily ruling out, and Willie Mullins is likely to have his say with three representatives. Another of the McManus brigade, Ciel De Neige, hailing from Closutton, appears a big danger to all, as is Cayd Boy. Eclair De Beaufeu’s hurdle rating is attractive.
