In depth
Verdict
Without a win on Turf so far, Two No Bids can race off a much lower mark on this surface and has been in fine form on the all-weather. Kasbhom also arrives in good heart having scored at Southwell last time and Darnathean picked up a lowly handicap at Wolverhampton last month. Indus Valley has been making the most of a tumble down the weights and remains well handicapped on his best form, but FIRST CLASS is just preferred. The latter was beaten less than a length when third at Kempton and drops down a grade for this.
