Verdict
Indiana Bay has been placed a couple of times under Rules and started favourite at Exeter last week only to blunder and part company with Josh Guerriero at halfway. Connections will be looking to recoup losses and Will Biddick takes over the reins here but he may find one too good in the shape of STEELTOWN. A winner twice over hurdles in Ireland, he's won four times between the flags and was particularly impressive at Cotley three weeks ago. Veteran Ned White usually runs his race while Fiulin once won a Listed race on the Flat and has run three times at the Cheltenham Festival, though clearly isn't as good as he once was.
