A chance is taken on RED INDIAN, who arrives on the back of a couple of impressive wins in points and has some useful form under Rules. Last year's runner-up, Billaway, should be thereabouts again and a big run is expected from Bob And Co if he can iron out some of the mistakes he made when scoring easily at Haydock from Wishing And Hoping.
