In depth

Verdict

INVERINATE has improved for being gelded and went close again at Epsom last week. He had the measure of subsequent Doncaster winner Wilde And Dandy when scoring over 7f here earlier and looks worth another try over this longer trip. The latter may prove the biggest threat unless Letaba improves in first-time blinkers while a visor is applied to Daarree on his handicap debut having also been recently gelded.
