    In depth

    Verdict

    Few can be seriously fancied and with Advance East and Hunter Gold having something to find on these terms this looks a match between Kind Sir and Indian Gunner. The latter showed the benefit of his reappearance when securing a comfortable 10-length victory at Wincanton's Boxing Day meeting and just has the edge over Kind Sir who, despite landing two of his last three starts, is still prone to jumping errors.
