Another big field and plenty of deadwood; INDIESLAD is anything but and with Paul Hanagan once again not riding for his yard the hint is taken. Ann Duffield's colt has always been highly-thought-of and whilst his mark of 82 is slightly flattering a repeat of his earlier form at Thirsk would see him home infront. Prince Titus shaped with promise at Lingfield in July and his yard are respected at the track with their juveniles, whilst Breezolini is getting the hang of things and showed improved form at Ripon last time. Cottam Stella drops in grade, whilst market support for the debutantes Manoori or Pantella would arouse interest. The exposed Silca Conegliano looks one to take on again.
