A modest but highly competitive selling contest with Nice Baby, Case Equal, Seemore Sunshine and Indian Beat all worthy of mention with the vote going to the last named. Indian Beat ran out of his skin last time out at Newton Abbot to finish a good length second to Lucky Do with Nice Baby a further two lengths back in third. We cant see those placings being reversed but the only worry is that the selection is still a maiden after thirty six starts. His form is consistent though and he has run some fine races in defeat and is worth staying on the right side of. Case Equal may have been unlucky at Worcester last time out in better company finishing fifth of eighteen and is stepping back down in trip so is worth noting in the market as is Seemore Sunshine who has shown ability but got beaten far to far in his last event to win this. So for the winner we return to Indian Baby.
