      In depth

      Verdict

      Not the strongest end to the card with INDY given a good chance to follow-up his Ripon win off a higher mark but one that he should be able to cope with on ground that won't hinder his efforts. Azzir should run his usual consistent race although The New Pharaoh looks the biggest danger with Starplex surely needing a bit further having looked a bit slow last time out.
