Verdict
Inner Circle won a course and distance claimer in August and looked on the way back to form with two narrow defeats last month though didn't run well at Chepstow on Saturday. Elixsoft, three-times an all-weather winner, gained her first success on Turf with a comfortable victory at Hamilton and though up 5lb is still on a lower mark than on the all-weather. VENTURA RASCAL has been gradually improving and stayed on strongly to snatch the verdict at Catterick. Today's stiffer track will suit and he can take this from just 4lb higher. Christmas Night, a winner over the track and trip from a higher mark, was staying on in that latter event so should get closer without reversing the form but The Big House didn't run up to form at Ayr after his earlier victory at Catterick.
