        Verdict

        Indian Affair is very consistent at this sort of level and has either won or been placed in half of his 70 career starts. He's up 3lb for last month's victory over 6f here but has won off the same mark in the past. MR CHRISTOPHER (NAP) has won twice on an artificial surface, both over this course and distance. He went up 7lb for his victory in February but still ran well over a mile at Kempton subsequently and can gain another success on the track. Depth Charge has been performing with credit in slightly better handicaps since winning a claimer here and has to be kept on the right side while Available is a regular around here though doesn't win very often.
