Plenty of these can be given a chance including Indira, who has slipped down the weights and gone close over 1m4f of late. Kelly's Finest won her maiden over track and trip last month and has since run well again while Blue Sea Of Ibrox won her maiden over a shorter trip at Pontefract in October and makes more appeal than the unreliable High And Flighty. Taurian's recent win at Lingfield came in an amateurs’ race so a chance is taken on KISSY SUZUKI finding further improvement on only her fifth start as her pedigree is packed with stamina and this longer trip looks sure to suit.
