ANTHROPOLOGIST is fancied to build on a return to winning form at Ayr last time out to land the Eurocell 'Grow With Us' Handicap (5.17) at Haydock Park on Thursday.
Charlie Johnston’s horses are running consistently well and Anthropologist put into the pot when wearing first-time cheekpieces over this afternoon seven-furlong trip on Scotland’s west coast 12 days ago.
Jason Hart’s mount, whose only previous success had been in a one-mile nursery at Newcastle last November, could be seen travelling with ominous ease running to the final quarter mile.
And when Hart asked his partner to settle matters Anthropologist did so in style, asserting to beat Invincible Ruby by a length and three-quarters.
A 4lb rise takes my selection to a revised British Horseracing Authority mark of 70 but the Study Of Man-sired three-year-old has been rated higher and, with the sheepskin persevered with, Anthropologist is expected to go in again.
Having frustrated punters for what seemed like an eternity, AL AMEEN suddenly can’t stop winning - and he’s taken to make it four from his last five in Kempton Park’s Unibet More Extra Place Races Handicap (5.48).
Interestingly, James Fanshawe has never run the six-year-old over a mile, but the new trip should prove well within range if the way he comes home over seven is any guide.
