LITTLE INDIAN has won twice already this year and was ahead of Copper Cavalier when third on the Polytrack here last month - he may prove good enough. El Duque is usually thereabouts at this lowly level without winning but Theydon Thunder remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in March. The veteran Bennelong still pops up on occasion but Admirable Art’s recent win came in Jersey and he was struggling for form before that.
