Mayson colt. Brother to smart winner up to 6f Ainsdale and half-brother to 6f winner Cale Lane and 5f winner Lyons Lane. Makes appeal on paper and the betting should offer up some clues.

Flowstate (5/2), Air Force Indi (3/1), Tourist (10/3), Istanblue (9/2), Mavericko (11/1), Formby (11/1), Milaikka (100/1), Wiggins B (125/1), Spellbinding (150/1)

AIR FORCE INDI was much improved from her debut when fifth in the Dick Poole Stakes at Salisbury in September and, with her physique pointing towards further progress this season, she's fancied to defy a penalty back in a novice. Flowstate made a winning start in good style at Ripon last month and is open to progress, while Istanblue has shown enough on both his outings in France to warrant respect.
