HIS GRACE doesn't look the easiest of rides but kept on well when third at Catterick last week, despite charting a wide course throughout. Andy Haynes' grey is given a final chance to convert undoubted ability into winning form. Indian Shuffle has been placed in all three starts at this track and will be hard to keep out of the frame again after his half-length second to Pineapple Pete in a handicap at Nottingham. Sailing North can be forgiven a poor run on Fibresand last time but the remainder have little recommend them.
