Panthers Run seems to run every few days but has been in decent form lately and makes more appeal than the frustrating maiden Saddle Pack. Tipsy Indian won at Sedgefield in November but has twice failed to finish behind STRATHAIRD, including at the County Durham track earlier this month when Andy Crook's charge had more in hand than the official margin suggests. He can double up here off a 4lb higher mark with Adam Nicol claiming 7lb. The others have little to recommend them.
