INDIAN SPRINGS looks useful and can defy a penalty for Newmarket. Time Allowed was 3¼ lengths behind the selection in fourth on that occasion but should get a bit closer on the revised terms and is second choice ahead of the returning Accentuate.

Verdict
Too Darn Hot colt who confirmed December's AW debut promise when winning a 7f maiden at last month's Newmarket Craven meeting. That looked a useful contest and he almost certainly has more to offer for his top yard.

17,000 gns Bated Breath gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 9.5f), out of useful 11f-12.5f winner Oh Beautiful. Will need to be useful to make a winning debut here.
