In depth
Verdict
INDIAN PURSUIT arrives in fine form having won at Chelmsford on two of his last three outings. John Quinn’s charge looks worth sticking with only 2lb higher than his latest success. The Mackem Torpedo is also in good form but his recent victories have both come over 6f while Global Humor was still well beaten when runner-up over track and trip last time. Loulin usually saves his best for Southwell and scored at the latter track last month.
