INNER VOICE drops in grade for the first time and ought to be good enough to win a seller with both Brousse En Feux and likely outsider Tubby Littlejohns worth noting in the market. The selection showed promise last year after winning a novice event at Sligo but his form has not reached the potential his connections once thought. That said he has run well enough in defeat in much better races than this and if at his best he ought to go very close. Brousse En Feux will have his supporter coming form a big stable and having the services of Tony McCoy on board. He won in this grade at this venue in July and was not beaten far into second place at Newton Abbot last time out so has to be respected. Tubby Littlejohns finished second in a seller on the flat last month but he has disappointed ever since. Now dropped to this grade he may fair better so any market moves should be noted. Inner Voice however is the horse to look out for and can go well.
