5/2
Didn't need to be at best when opening his account in a Nottingham maiden (8.3f) in June. Creditable efforts since, not staying the straightest up in trip at Doncaster last time. One to consider back down in grade/distance.

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Sandown (10f, soft) 20 days ago. Might not have reached his limit and should give another good account.

Forecasts

Indemnity (5/2), New Chelsea (5/2), High Fibre (6/1), Odin Legacy (15/2), Bucephalus (9/1), Expert Witness (9/1), High Point (12/1), Gray's Inn (22/1), Throne Hall (33/1), Cephalus (80/1), Kolisi (150/1)

Verdict

INDEMNITY has been in good order and this represents a drop in grade for him, so he gets the nod over High Fibre, who is sliding in the weights and has been shaping better than the result this term. Odin Legacy is another one to consider with few miles on the clock.
