        Verdict

        Indian Pipe Dream is selected ahead of Albinus and Chery D'Or. The selection did little wrong when beaten by Leslingtaylor on his latest start and very much gave the impression that a step up in trip would play to his strengths. Albinus has been highly tried on his hurdling starts but has invariably been found wanting. This drop in sights looks realistic and the market is watched. Chery D'Or was well punted on British debut and is surely better than the bare form suggests. Hunting Lodge was second to Kanpai on his latest start but was greatly flattered to be within 35 lengths of him as he passed the finish. Air Force One has place claims if building upon his most recent effort. Four For A Laugh was going well when unshipping Robert Thornton on seasonal reappearance and any move in the market should not be ignored. Indian Pipe Dream looks to have everything in his favour and looks the percentage call in a race that should throw up plenty of winners.
