In depth
Verdict
Indie Music was out of depth last time at Newmarket but had run well at Windsor earlier and can race off a lower mark today. However, a high draw is a concern as it is for Leicester runner-up Electra Voice, who was found wanting on her only previous try over this trip. The handicapper has taken no chances with narrow Chelmsford winner STAINTONDALE LASS but she'll handle the surface and the extra furlong shouldn't be a problem on breeding. Newmarket third Grizzly Bear has place claims again and jockey bookings suggest Fast And Hot is preferred to stablemate Polymnia. Big Sky won over course and distance in August and pulled too hard over a mile at Chelmsford next time so goes on the short-list.
