The veteran Indian Trail posted a better effort when runner-up at Beverley last week but his losing run stretches back over three years now and FERDY makes more appeal. Paul Green's charge won the first division of a sprint over C&D last month with a subsequent winner back in second. He can follow-up here as that looked more competitive than the other division won by Oakbrook, who should be thereabouts again now he's finally off the mark. Previous C&D winners Gap Princess and See Clearly have the past form to figure with preference for the former after going close at Wolverhampton last time.
