INDIAN KEYS had little chance in a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket last time and will find this easier. She had gone close in maiden company before that and just edges this at the weights ahead of Designate. The latter was placed in a handicap on the all-weather last time and makes more appeal than Strategic Order, who seems to have lost his way of late. Westhoughton has plenty to find on today's terms and the remainder are even harder to fancy.
