In depth
Verdict
Inscribe can only improve having finished tailed off on his racecourse debut last year and Mesophere finished no closer stepped up to today’s trip at Newcastle last time. Amlad, Secret Soul and Many Waters attempt a longer trip with the latter having the most recent form but WEFAIT is preferred. He found only one too good over 1m2f at Newcastle just 10 days ago and the Hannon colt gets the nod on that form.
