A winner at Wolverhampton in March, Indian Affair has been running well on the all-weather and so has the less exposed Exalted. Hipz including a course and distance victory among last year’s three wins but needs to reverse recent running at Brighton with the runner-up Perfect Pastime. The latter can race off the same mark today but it could pay to stick with POSH BOUNTY (NAP), who won easily at Doncaster last month. An apprentice’s allowance cancels out a 7lb rise in this and Joseph Tuite’s mare can go in again. Eljaddaaf remains lightly-raced and makes her debut on Turf having won twice on the all-weather earlier this year.
