Verdict

Indefatigable beat PAISLEY PARK and Thomas Darby in a Grade 2 at Wetherby but has picked up a penalty and Emma Lavelle’s former champion is fancied to turn the tables with this track placing more of an emphasis on stamina. On The Blind Side gave 15lb and a beating to Mrs Milner on his reappearance at Cheltenham last season and didn’t do a lot wrong after but possibly lacks the class of a couple of these and, along with Indefatigable and Lisnagar Oscar, was behind Thomas Darby in the Stayers Hurdle at Aintree in April.
