        Verdict

        Indian Chase gets the confident vote here with To Be Fare and Blueberry Hill rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Scurral and although he has a penalty for that win he won with a bit in hand and under similar conditions here he is taken to win again. To Be Fare rates the main danger on his latest second behind True To Yourself but he has had plenty chances of late off this sort of mark without taking one and again he looks vulnerable for that reason. Blueberry Hill is another that could go well but he has yet to prove he stays this far and is opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Blue Opal is on a lenient mark and represents a shrewd yard so should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Indian Chase who won with a little in hand last time out.
