        Verdict

        There are a number of unexposed horses in this field, so it is a tricky race from a punters point of view, but Inchloch showed plenty of promise on his debut and is just preferred. James Fanshawe's colt was a useful third to Babe McCool at the Rowley Mile course last month. While that may not have been the hottest race at HQ this year, he seemed sure to learn from that and provides the likeliest option here. Of the rest, Spankys Ladder shaped really well on debut at Doncaster but was subsequently disappointing at Ripon, albeit on soft ground, while Nuwara Eliya was beaten a long way on debut here but is sure to appreciate this extra furlong. Golo Gal and Swains Bridge are a couple of newcomers to note, but for the selection we stick with Inchloch.
