In depth

Verdict

Indian Pursuit popped-up over track and trip recently while Avenue Of Stars finally showed some progress for a slide down the weights when runner-up at Hamilton. Uncle Charlie went close off today’s mark at Carlisle but Cupid's Arrow hasn’t figured since scoring over track and trip in July. Robbian landed a double at this time last year and is back on a winning mark but LE MANEGE ENCHANTE wasn’t beaten far in better company at Newmarket last time having won at Thirsk before that and he gets the nod back at this level.
