Verdict
It could be worth siding with the maiden Indian Maiden in this strange little handicap. The three-year-old finishing only ten lengths behind Tout Seul in Ireland last year. Following that he finished behind Ronnie From Donny at Wolverhampton. He reopposes here on much better terms. A line through the aforementioned horse sees the selection hold Bond Royale. The other main danger Bond Playboy ran a dreadful race last time out and can not be trusted at present despite having previously shown good form. Proud Victor acts on this track but need some improvement to figure here.
