In depth
Verdict
Inch Perfect slipped in the ratings after a frustrating campaign last year and as such he has returned on a handy mark. He is set to race over a more suitable trip than of late and may register a long overdue success. Pinot Noir and Cosmic Case will make sure that the race will be hard fought until its conclusion and will no doubt bid for glory in the closing stages. Little John is a regular here and will lift the roof if he can finally force his head in front at the finish. But he has failed to deliver on too many occasions than to be anything more than an each way punters dream horse.
