      Verdict

      Indigo Times returns from a lay-off having switched stables. King Francis has been a beaten favourite twice since scoring at Kempton in April while the Johnstons reach for the cheekpieces on the disappointing March Law. Matchless was only fourth off this mark at Newmarket after a couple of wins over 1m2f at Doncaster so this can go to CHARGING THUNDER, who certainly deserves a change of luck having finished second in all three runs so far this season.
