INNISFREE LAD (NAP) has won all three starts since joining Tom Symonds. Though struggling to land the odds in a chase last time, he’d looked a long way ahead of the handicapper when scoring twice over hurdles previously so should brush aside a penalty. Onlyfoolsownhorses ran his best race for a long time at Carlisle last month and is thrown in on past form. Hidden Depths was only headed close home at Taunton and should be winning soon with Final Fling likely to do better after a pipe-opener at Kelso.
