What car for towing 2100kg horsebox

My wife's car (1999 Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDi) needs to be replaced with something which can legally tow a horse box, pony and horse at 2100 kg. We would want to stay as close to the 40 mpg the Galaxy is currently giving. What would you recommend? (Budget £5k - £10k)

Something big. Maybe an Isuzu Rodeo 2.5 iTEQ as they will do about 36-38mpg and have a 3,000kg towing limit.
