Race preview

The five-year-old IRON MIKE shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up over C&D on his stable debut earlier this month, pulling well clear of the third and giving the impression that the run would bring him forward. A first win over obstacles may be on the cards for the son of Gregorian, possibly at the main expense of Ahead Of The Field, who stepped up significantly when scoring at Southwell on his latest start. The Unit looked in need of the run at Kempton on his most recent outing and can also get involved.
