Indian Chief finished in front of both Awake My Soul and Swift Emperor when runner-up over track and trip back in April but never figured at Ayr last time where Ventura Dragon was also well beaten. The latter had earlier won in soft ground at Doncaster while Armandihan scored over 1m4f at Pontefract last week and carries 6lb extra. Brother McGonagall’s earlier hat-trick came over a mile and MULLIGATAWNY (NAP) hasn’t won since scoring over track and trip last summer. But he was subsequently beaten less than a length in last year’s renewal off a 13lb higher mark and gets the vote today with Silvestre De Sousa’s presence another positive.
