A race lacking strength-in-depth with half the field carrying more than their allotted weight. Sanad was only beaten half-a-length over a mile here last week in first-time blinkers and is 3lb lower today. The headgear is replaced by cheekpieces today, however, which seems a strange move. We'll stick with INDIANA GUEST on the basis that he's the only one here with recent winning form. He has a penalty for last week's C&D success but is from a family that generally improve with experience. Roman Myst, placed at Ffos Las and Chepstow this month, and recent Lingfield third Inffiraaj look best of the rest.
