Verdict
The step up to a mile can see further progress from INDIGO WAY, who is taken to follow-up his Doncaster win. Brian Meehan's gelding stayed on strongly to score when last seen, goes on a sound surface and has the potential to stay up to 1m 4f, so today's trip looks an ideal progession and he can go in again. Shewalksinbeauty is an obvious danger, having already won a maiden and proved herself in this sphere at Salisbury last time. She acts on fast ground although so far has done better when it is not quite so quick, and after a 4lb rise she looks worth taking on. Wolverhampton maiden winner Handsome Jack should go on fast ground and represents a yard in good form, so we respect his claim. Liberty Cap has a very solid profile and acts in these conditions, so would be no shock winner of a competitive heat.
