Equipped dropped away tamely at Chepstow on Tuesday and may be due a rest. Bernie's Boy carries a penalty for winning on the all-weather last Saturday and doesn’t look the type to record back-to-back victories but Indian Sounds was only beaten a neck at Thirsk nine days ago and has every chance of going one better. There are five previous course winners in this but it’s difficult to make a case for Our Lord on recent form, even in first-time blinkers. CORONATION COTTAGE never got into contention on her return to action but has slipped even further down the ratings and this looks to be her best opportunity for some time.
