Verdict

Music Society was well backed to stage a repeat in last week’s Ayr Bronze Cup but stumbled leaving the stalls and unseated Paul Mulrennan, who now switches to Big Les. Tim Easterby’s charge has slipped to a fair mark and looks a threat to all but could find the three-year-old INDIAN CREAK a tough nut to crack. The latter followed up a win at Windsor with another sound effort at Ascot and is thriving back over 6f. Call Me Ginger was disappointing at Ayr but Commanche Falls took a big step forward here earlier this month and makes more appeal than Beyond Equal and Punchbowl Flyer.
