In depth

Verdict

Love You Louis is usually thereabouts without being quite good enough and it could be the same story today. A chance is taken that INDIAN TINKER can make the most of his slide down the weights after a pipe-opener over course and distance and he gets the nod. Stonecrabstomorrow had been threatening a return to his best but his form has tapered off again of late and Griffin Point makes more appeal off his current mark. Cincinnati Kit remains without a win on Turf after a poor effort at Yarmouth while Methaaly is not certain to appreciate the drop back in trip after scoring over 6f at Windsor last time.
