A trappy sprint, so at the likely odds a chance is taken on the consistent LIHOU, who can boast a C&D win and is weighted to go close again off an easing mark. Indian Creak is another in-form sort who seems sure to be in the shake-up now the official assessor has started to relent, while course-specialist Powerallied can never be ruled out round here and must enter calculations too.
