Indian Music makes a quick reappearance after flopping on the turf course here on Friday and makes plenty of appeal back on the all-weather as he is now 8lb lower than when landing a handicap over course and distance last term. However, Alan berry's charge may have to settle for place money behind Alastair Smellie who bounced back to form at Newcastle two weeks ago and is now 4lb lower on his return to the all-weather. The six-year-old, who had lost his way in recent times, is clearly in good fettle at present and may now be worth following now that his confidence his high. Dangers include Mutasawwar, who showed he retains plenty of enthusiasm when scoring at Nottingham last month and is 6lb lower for the return to sand, along with Safranine, a recent winner here over the minimum trip (now 7lb higher), who shapes as though the extra furlong will suit.
