Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Indian River
Indian River heads this 12-runner Class 2 chase at Market Rasen narrowly ahead of Karoline Banbou and rates a shade clear of Indemnity in third on our figures, though the confidence in him translating that edge into victory on the day is modest. Karoline Banbou and Indemnity are the most obvious threats and will need to be kept honest over this two-mile-four-furlong trip on good ground, while Howth also merits respect among the principal dangers. Indian River is our selection.
