Formscan By Gary Carson - BLUE ANTHEM can strike down in this grade. The Starspangledbanner gelding was strongly supported over in Brighton last time and made the running until headed in the final furlong, finishing third in the end. The fact that he has the pace for this sprint trip here looks a plus as a few of his rivals have been running over further. Ado McGuinness has three runners, including the two highest rated performers. Land Of The Giants won over a mile at Navan eight days ago and tries this trip for the first time. Stablemate She’s Ideal sets the standard off 63 and is respected but may also prefer further.%0A%0A
