In depth
Verdict
Martineo won over a longer trip at Yarmouth back in August and Inaam has been in the mix over 7f recently. Kath's Lustre moves in the opposite direction having gone close over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton but Invincible Larne has placed over today’s distance the last twice and can race off the same mark. EXCELLENT GEORGE (NAP) was beaten only a head in a claimer over 6f at Kempton last time and this isn’t much tougher so Stuart Williams’ charge gets the vote having gone close over course and distance off a 6lb higher mark earlier in the year.
