Indulging would have an obvious chance if turning up here rather than the 3.20 at Galway yesterday and Inveterate is also engaged in that same event. Tall Story has been placed in five of eleven starts and looks vulnerable as does Xeres, who was well beaten over hurdles earlier this month. Gudrid and Zurkhana are likely improvers while Sign From Above is by Sea The Stars out of a 1m4f winner. FINE LACE is by Frankel and a half-sister to a Group 1 winner and full-sister to a Listed winner so she's handed the vote to make a successful debut.
