Verdict
This uninspiring bunch have mustered a grand total of one win between them so far. That was Autopilot's victory in a seller over 7f and he hasn't figured since. INDIRA wasn't beaten far over a longer trip at Kempton last time and she gets the token vote racing on Turf for the first time. Mustadrik may do better dropping back in trip and Sparkling Ice has a placed effort on the Polytrack to her credit. Roman Riches and Confiture have also been placed on the all-weather while Khee Society made the frame at Nottingham last month.
