Tipsy Indian won over the C&D in November and again ran well at the last meeting. However, he was a long way behind when falling in the race won by Strathaird at Catterick on New Year's Day and the latter looks to have a better chance of adding to his tally. RIVER RHAPSODY is entrusted with the vote as he probably found 2m4f stretching his stamina at Lingfield after scoring over the minimum at Ludlow. He's probably on a high enough mark but this is a poor contest and he can double his winning tally. Ice Image narrowly beat Lerida over the C&D a year ago but neither have been in very good form subsequently.
