Lansdowne Princess won a Newton Abbot handicap off 72 in August which looks about her mark and Cengiz has been placed once in 10 starts over fences. Indian Pipe Dream gained his first success in 14 starts over the bigger obstacles when gaining a surprise victory in a three-runner affair at Doncaster but it will be an even bigger shock if he can beat QOZAK, who had a simple task when his only rival unseated his rival at the fifth here last month but who is in a different league judged on an earlier success over 2m3f here.
