In depth

Verdict

Indian Pursuit has managed to win five times around here but ran moderately from this mark here last week. Gin In The Inn last won a race almost a year ago but has been racing in better company so should find this more to his liking. Final Frontier dropped back to this trip for the first time since his two-year-old days when scoring comfortably at Leicester, though a 6lb rise makes this more difficult. HIGHLAND ACCLAIM hasn't won since completing a double at Lingfield in February but has raced in better company and is now 1lb lower than his last success so looks the one to beat. B Fifty Two won here in August and has been in good form subsequently, though at a lower level than this.
