RED STRIPES is a tentative choice in a tight-knit affair having gone well last time on turf. A similar performance here might just be good enough. Course specialist Indian Affair has to be respected and ran well at Bath recently, while the first-time blinkers on Q Cee might prompt a better effort. Spike has tumbled down the weights and cannot be ruled out despite some poor runs this term, while top weight Gold Club may appreciate the drop in class and get involved.
