In depth

Verdict

Indigo Rock was last on his chasing debut at Newcastle but should be capable of much better given his background. Abbey Storm, another winning pointer, improved on a poor run at Worcester to finish second at Aintree but was still beaten 10 lengths. SETTLEDOUTOFCOURT was denied a hat-trick when only third at Wetherby but that still wasn't a bad run given he's gone up 17lb in the weights since October. He can recapture the winning thread as Milano Magic has proved difficult to win with.
