In depth
Verdict
Indianapolis was close to Listed class at one time on the Flat but hasn’t won in almost three years. Ironhill won a bumper here just over three weeks ago but EVERYONESGAME appears to have stronger form in that sphere and is reunited with Brian Hughes, who rode him to victory at Doncaster in January. Seaforth Mancy hasn’t really threatened in a couple of hurdle runs so far while Spanish Present was an expensive failure at Kelso in May.
