All of these step up in distance but INDIAN DREAM stayed on well despite missing the break to finish second over 6f at Newmarket on his debut. He’ll know more today and is just preferred to Prince Nabeel. The latter is another who ran as though this extra yardage would suit when fourth at Ripon while Metal Merchant finished ahead of King Kraken when making late progress over 6f at Leicester. Tribal Master is a brother to Group 3 winner Tribal Craft while Crackovia’s yard has won two of the four previous renewals.
