None of these inspire much confidence including recent 7f winner Little Indian, who landed a lowly Class 7 event here.

Zabdi has also been thereabouts over shorter trips recently but has yet to win anywhere while Dukes Meadow slips further down the weights looking to add to his one win 25 previous attempts.
