Verdict
The Sue Smith yard could easily land a quick double here as TIPSY INDIAN ran a nice race to finish third to Olympian Boy at Sedgefield on his chasing debut. He probably wouldn't need to improve much on that to land this. Lerida is fairly consistent but was a long way behind Prince Tam at Newcastle in April and hasn't been seen since. Frith is the likely danger, therefore, as he had Bunacurry back in fourth when scoring over C&D at the end of September and is only 6lb higher today. Transact may have a bit of scope and could prove the pick of the remainder.
