Successful over track and trip last month, heavy ground was a legitimate excuse for the three-year-old Inductive on a return visit and he looks a threat to the winning run of MACS BLESSINGS. Stef Keniry’s gelding steps up a furlong in search of a hat-trick but he’s benefited greatly from the fitting of a tongue-tie and won over 7f and a mile last year. Great Colaci has finished second three times since winning at Newcastle in June so can’t be ignored but Firsteen has an absence to overcome.
