Green Earth is well drawn and has live claims on the figures having benefited from the fitting of cheekpieces at Lingfield but he still looked reluctant to go past despite being given every chance by Neil Callan and may not be the most resolute in a finish. In contrast, Sabatini has won four of her eight starts on the all-weather - including two of her last three - and has plenty in her favour. Shark Man has claims if a visor works the oracle and Lean Machine on the best of his old form for Richard Hannon but INDIAN VALLEY is the one that they all have to beat following her stylish win at Pontefract as she has run well at this track and is remarkably consistent for a performer at this level. Pastello is unbeaten over course and distance and is feared with Another Magic Man, Hierarch and Layla's Lexi amongst others to note.
