Verdict
INDIAN AFFAIR went close at Wolverhampton when last on the all-weather in July and can race off the same mark here. He’s preferred to stablemate Triple Dream but Quite A Story won at Goodwood in August and can figure. Costa Filey has been placed off similar marks recently and Cee Jay was narrowly beaten in a maiden race here on his penultimate start but Billyoakes has not won since 2014.
