Race preview
INDEEVAR BLEU stepped forward from first to second start over hurdles when scoring comfortably at Leicester last time out and he can follow up under a 6lb penalty for in-form connections. A winner at Stratford on his hurdles bow before disappointing over further at Aintree, Glynn Brae is a major player along with Desert Halo, who ran a career-best when second at Ludlow last time out.
