Indiana Bay was second over 2m5f here last month but isn't certain to stay this far. Iron Chancellor carries 4lb more than when successful in last year's renewal but has leading claims again while Ifonlyalfie should run well. BATU FERRINGHI is a stout stayer who will enjoy conditions. He looked in decent form in a point-to-point last month and could be the value in a modest finale.
