Indian River gets the nod in this Cheltenham two-miler, his progressive profile making him the one to side with despite sitting a single pound behind Lord Byron on our figures. That is a very narrow gap, and an improving type on good to soft ground can overturn it. Lord Byron is the chief danger, while North Shore and One Horse Town are both within four pounds of our pick and cannot be dismissed in a tight-looking contest, though the other three look to be a step below. Indian River is our selection.
