RED INDIAN (NAP), denied a good opportunity at Ludlow on Tuesday, can land this for the in-form Ben Pauling. The form of his third in the Lanzarote at Kempton last month was franked when fourth Topofthegames won a Grade 2 at Sandown last Saturday. Wilde Blue Yonder ran an eye-catching race on his reappearance at Newbury and should strip fitter here but both Vosne Romanee and Zipple Back have had a lengthy break since their latest wins. Brillare Momento is running well but she’s possibly a few pounds too high now while Mr Antolini steps up in grade off a 7lb higher mark after scoring at Leicester, though is still preferred to Azzerti, Viserion and Dell' Arca.
