In depth
Verdict
Indian Road will probably need to improve to get his head in front but that is not out of the question given the form of his powerful stable. Inductive has only been raised 3lb for last month’s course and distance victory while Great Colaci makes a quick return to action having failed to land the odds at Leicester on Sunday. SIENNA DREAM placed twice over 6f here last month but is back over her winning distance today and she looks more than capable of going close again off her current mark. It’s almost two years since Stronsay recorded his only success and he’ll probably find a few too good again.
