Verdict
A very modest handicap can go to INNOKO who was only beaten half-a-length back on Turf at Brighton, when Go On Gal was behind, though has been raised 2lb since. Windsor third Party Royal stays this trip well enough nowadays and is probably the biggest threat to the selection ahead of Hope Is High, though John Berry’s filly is less exposed than most and her defeat of Fast And Hot at Bath in August looks better now than it did at the time. She’s had a pipe-opener so can’t be ignored.
