INDIAN VISION raced over hurdles during the winter which must have sharpened him up as he came here last month and landed a handicap over the trip in good style. He's up 6lb but looks progressive enough to go in again. Sunrize, who started favourite, could only finish third and looks held. Song Of Love has won six times on the all-weather but never been placed in a dozen starts on Turf which is why he's on a lowly mark. Midnight Warrior won over the course and distance last summer from 3lb higher and generally runs well here so has to be a threat while anything Tim Easterby saddles at present has to be considered and Breakwater Bay is now on his lowest-ever mark.
