After ending the turf season with a decent third at Yarmouth, INDIAN WISH was sent off favourite over C&D last time but found one too good. She is taken to make amends here in what looks a slightly easier contest. Countrywide Flame should go well dropping back a furlong - in contrast Snow Trooper may do better as he is taking on a longer trip for the first time. Sylvester Kirk has three runners with Ad Vitam making the most appeal as he showed his best form to date last time, while Sea Dream looks to have the best chance of Mark Usher's duo.
