Verdict
Low numbers are usually best on this sprint track and INDEGO BLUES (NAP) looks ideally positioned to record another victory. He's hasn't won since 2013 but has dropped to his lowest ever mark as a consequence and showed a bit more dash at Thirsk last time. Jinky is also well drawn and he goes well on this course as he did on several occasions last summer including when scoring on fast ground in July. Monel has won five times in 37 starts - all of them on this track - though he's better over an extra furlong with some cut in the ground. Chookie's Lass had Bearskin over 2l behind when they were 1-2 at Carlisle in August though there were only three runners and the form looks deceptive.
