        In depth

        Verdict

        The return to six furlong should not be a problem for Indian Warrior and the eight-year-old is just preferred over Indian Music and Cleveland Way, who should ensure that this becomes competitive, even though their style of racing contrasts each other as almost exact opposites when they have been at their best. However, Cleveland way should ensure that there is no hanging about and can set things up for a strong finisher. Which brings in the selection, who stays at least a furlong further than this and will be doing all his best work at the finish. So too will Indian Music, who proved that he is still capable at this level when scoring over course and distance at the end of last month. However, he reverted to type on his latest start and may also find Indian Warrior has too much in reserve when they bear down on the line.
