Verdict

INCA shaped quite encouragingly on first run for his new yard when fourth at Worcester last month and could be the answer if building on that in a first-time tongue strap. Clever Relation could be the danger if not caught out by the shorter trip.

7	Fair Flat winner for Hughie Morrison. Made more impact than previously over hurdles when second of 6 in handicap at Fontwell (2¾m, good) 30 days ago, suited by increase in trip and also how the race developed. Has the same mark to work with but shorter distance might not be ideal. 2nd Pick 7 Clever Relation Jockey: Jack Tudor Trainer: Christian Williams J: Jack Tudor T: Christian Williams	100	-	-	-	25%
