A bad race which Ingleby Hill could surprise plenty if beating off likely market leaders, High Five Society and Bonnet O'Bonnie. Ingleby Hill hasn't cut too much ice since sent hurdling but a perusal at some of his earlier form for David Barron suggests that he might have been let in here lightly and it will be interesting to see if any money accompanies heim tonight. High Five Society did nothing wrong when scoring over course-and-distance but confidence in him is somewhat dented by a car park draw tonight. Bonnet O'Bonnie was punted as if something were anticipated last time but ultimately nothing was delivered. The market is watched in order to see if those losses are being chased. Almowj returns from a year off the track while the frustrating Keon is sure to have some followers given the recent form of the Reg Hollinshead outfit. Shami makes a return to the track following two years off but its unlikely he still has some of the ability that saw him winning off marks of 92 during his time with David Loder. A real mixed bag that makes difficult reading for form students and Ingleby Hill is put forward to minimal stakes.
