INDIE ROCK was placed at Nottingham last time and should figure on her handicap debut. She faded close home in similar ground at Beverley on her earlier debut so should handle today’s surface. Cheerful Character has yet to encounter soft going and has placed at Wolverhampton the last twice while Foxy Boy was well ahead of Reckless Serenade when winning at Carlisle but beaten at Musselburgh on his latest start. Benidiction has failed to figure in handicaps having earlier won a seller at Yarmouth.
