In depth
Verdict
Recent course and distance winner Ben Hall is harder to fancy raised 5lb and Putin carries a penalty for scoring on the sand at Laytown last week. Showtime Blues drops back in distance after going close at Kempton while Foie Gras threw in a shocker at the same track last time but was narrowly beaten here before that. INDIAN AFFAIR won at Windsor last month and found only one too good at Chepstow off today's mark a week ago. He gets the nod given Gold Beau was still well beaten when third at Doncaster last time.
