Verdict

Indian Native won a small race at Southwell last month and remains on a fair mark, despite a 3lb rise. But preference is for STONEBRIGG LEGEND (NAP), a winner twice here last year. She’s only found one too good twice at Huntingdon this season and Alex Thorne’s claim takes care of a harsh 5lb rise. Westerner Ocean is improving with experience but the remaining quartet were all pulled up last time so have a bit to prove now.
