Verdict
Iffy put in a decent display in similar company last time and can go one better today, the main dangers could be Indian Blaze and Graft. Peter Cundell's charge chased home Aswan at Wolverhampton earlier this month, just giving way in the closing stages, a repeat of that effort should be good enough against mostly out of form opponents. Indian Blaze however is running well at present having finished an excellent third behind Tasneef at Lingfield last time. It was in a banded event but this isn't much stronger and a big run can be expected. Graft wasn't beaten far in a slightly better race than this last time and should also be thereabouts. Julian Poulton's Grand Ideas may prove best of the remainder, but Iffy is in good heart at present and is hard to oppose.
