Tableforten is getting closer to ending a long losing run and the same comment applies to Indian Affair, though both of the latter's earlier wins came over 6f. Lutine Charlie has won just the once since 2012 and is 3lb higher today but Harry Bosch has tumbled down the weights and is further helped by an apprentice's 7lb allowance. AYE AYE SKIPPER disappointed last time but went close at Lingfield before that behind Admirable Art, who has won again since. Dean Ivory's charge gets another chance here on that form.
