RACING POST VERDICT
East India Express heads our ratings on 142, a clear five pounds ahead of La Pinsonniere on 137, and that is a meaningful edge in a 13-runner Class 3 over 20 furlongs on good ground at Cheltenham. He looks the most robust of the leading contenders on our figures, and he is our selection. La Pinsonniere is the chief danger, with Al Gasparo just a pound behind her and John Barbour on 133 also well capable of making the frame in a competitive field. Confidence is low given how many have similar claims, but East India Express is the pick.
