Indian Stream seeks back-to-back victories in this Listed contest off a 3lb higher mark but should strip fitter for her run at Chepstow last month. Royal Vacation won a Grade 1 last year but lost his form in the spring. Sametegal hasn't run since March of last year but fitness is unlikely to be an issue and he has the class to get competitive. Zamdy Man and Splash of Ginge are also returning from a break but Marquis Of Carabas is race-fit and so is GUITAR PETE (NAP). Nicky Richards' Irish import has only found one too good in his last two and remains potentially well treated with Ryan Day's claim a further plus.
