Kassis was only a length behind third Kilronan High in a Listed chase at Huntingdon in February and is 16lb better off. But she's still 8lb wrong in the weights here and it may not pay to take that form too literally. Cresswell Breeze and Kayfleur were second and third behind Centasia at Warwick last time but Alder Mairi was still prominent in that race when falling and isn't out of this with a clear round. Bon Chic had a nice confidence-booster at Fakenham but was easily brushed aside by Kalane at Huntingdon in December. INDIAN STREAM goes well fresh so her absence since September is not a concern. She's won two out of three over fences and gets the vote on the condition that the ground doesn't deteriorate.
