In depth

Verdict

Indigo Beat ran in the Hilary Needler at Beverley and should find this easier. Galahad was second at Carlisle last time but still beaten 10 lengths and MONTATAIRE (NAP) is more interesting. He ran well at Goodwood after only finding one too good at Ripon on debut and can make it third-time lucky at the main expense of last week's course and distance runner-up What's The Story. Flash Of White is preferred to fellow newcomer Cliff Bay and Bongrace of the others.
