In depth

Verdict

LITTLE INDIAN returned to winning ways over track and trip last time and remains on a winning mark raised only 2lb. He can confirm running with Putin and go in again. Jonnie Skull won over hurdles last month and is penalised for scoring at Wolverhampton last week. He should be thereabouts again but Candesta's recent second came on the Fibresand at Southwell and she was well beaten here before that. Conry has yet to show any improvement for his tumble down the weights and General Tufto is struggling at present.
