Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout. INDIGO DESERT has his first run for Willie Mullins and this lightly-raced winner is fancied to make light of his absence on his handicap debut. Tony Martin's Unanswered is turned out quickly and weighted to have a big say so rates a big threat, while the likes of La Hacienda, Silent Prayer and Cherub need factoring in too.

  1. INDIGO DESERT
  2. UNANSWERED
  3. LA HACIENDA
