        Verdict

        Loch Inch has been knocking on the door recently and is taken to get his head in front at the expense of Currency and Ballybunion. Milton Bradley continues to plunder many a sprint handicap and this son of Inchinor looks set to add to his tally. He put up a gallant performance last time when a close up third behind David's Mark at Windsor, form that should be good enough to take this. Currency is a stable-mate of the selection and has strong claims after finishing runner-up to Mimic just three days ago. Meanwhile Ballybunion has to be respected on his recent fifth behind stable companion Merlin's Dancer at glorious Goodwood. Bradley is also represented by Pulse and Coranglais so watch out for any market clues concerning these two, however, without the benefit of the betting we will side with Loch Inch.
