      Verdict

      Indy was an impressive winner of his racecourse debut over 6f at Doncaster in November while Destiny's Kitten proved well suited to Chester when returning an easy winner over today's trip. TAKREYM was also untroubled to land the odds at Windsor earlier this month and it's Roger Varian's charge that gets the nod to come out best in this. Zaraee won twice over 6f last year before disappointing at Doncaster and makes most appeal of the remainder who are all looking pretty exposed now.
