        Verdict

        Indigo Lake seemed not to stay 1m6f at Sandown last time and is fitted with headgear back over his winning trip. He’s preferred to stablemate To Nathaniel but Yarmouth maiden winner Boss Power will need a further step forward to figure. Night Bear is still improving but ZUBA has every chance back in this lower grade after going close over track and trip a fortnight ago and Amanda Perrett’s charge may be the one to side with. Midnights' Gift has progressed over hurdles since last seen on the Flat and looks best of the rest.
