In depth

Verdict

East Indies won one of these events over track and trip in September but has plenty to find on today’s terms with MOST CELEBRATED. The latter is clear at the weights and has gone close at Newbury the last twice having won a maiden hurdle at Wetherby earlier in the year. Connections will be hoping Masterson improves back over timber having completed a double on the Flat at Chelmsford this month while Sixties Idol looked more at home on his hurdling debut over these obstacles than Norse Castle did when tailed off at Stratford.
