Verdict
A difficult one for punters but we will take Indigo Sky to beat Thenford Star, Silverio and Adlestrop. Brendan Powell's team continue in fair form and Indigo Sky won his most recent race with something in hand. He does have a substantial rise in the weights to overcome but he was assessed off a very low base figure. Similar comments apply to Thenford Star. Well backed on her first start for her new connections, she obliged impressively and has been hiked in the weights as a consequence. Silverio has ability but often tends to run in snatches. Adlestrop is perfectly exposed but the yard of Richard Phillips look to be back in some sort of form, so any market confidence is noted. Le Millenaire would be of interest if taking this engagement. Dizzy Future has had two recent spins on the level so should not want for fitness. Mickey Pearce looked held when departing at Uttoxeter on his latest outing and will need to brush up on his jumping. Indigo Sky could be open to a little more improvement and in light of the stable form, he is afforded the nomination.
