Kodatish finished ahead of Ovett here last time and is dropped in class. He should figure as a consequence but this is tougher than the race won by Harrogate Fair over track and trip a fortnight ago when Modern Lady finished runner-up. Indian Affair may do better back over the minimum trip and makes more appeal than Layla's Oasis but SMART DAISY K is proving consistent and opened her account over C&D last time. She's taken to follow-up on her handicap debut.
