Indianapolis is eased in grade and unquestionably well treated but is on a long losing run and possibly isn’t the strongest of stayers over 2m. Tralee Hills has never won beyond 1m4f but Let Me Be has no stamina issues, though was behind Land Of Winter when both were unplaced in the Cesarewitch. Cloud Thunder won easily under Frederick Larson at Newbury but steps up a grade for this and Cemhaan is up 4lb for winning over 1m6f at Salisbury. The soft going is an unknown for Flower Of Scotland so this can go to FOREVER WILLIAM, who certainly wouldn’t be winning out of turn having been given too much to do over 1m6f here last time. Mount Olympus is still out of the handicap despite a 6lb penalty for last week’s course victory.
