In depth

Verdict

Little Indian ran below par last time but scored over track and trip earlier when a length ahead of THE HAPPY HAMMER. The latter has since gone close at Wolverhampton and, re-opposing on better terms with the former, Eugene Stanford's charge can come out best this time. Hot Mustard was not beaten far at Nottingham on his comeback and drops down a grade while both Sixties Queen and Nifty Kier went close on their latest starts at this level and are both back on a winning mark.
