Novabridge landed a double over track and trip in December but Windforpower reversed earlier running with the former to score here last month. Tracy Waggott’s charge remains on a winning mark, despite a 4lb rise, but it could be the turn of INDIAN PURSUIT today. He was beaten only a short-head at Wolverhampton last week and can go one better in this. Monsieur Paddy won his maiden over course and distance and has plenty of scope while Burtonwood has been raised only 2lb for landing a higher grade sprint over 6f here last time. Spiraea finished ahead of Jacob's Pillow when second at Southwell and is another to consider having tumbled down the weights.
