In depth
Verdict
A small field goes to post for this maiden and it looks a match between Inchberry and Outward and the confident vote goes to Inchberry. The fillys fourth behind Casual Look looks rock solid in the context of this race and with conditions in her favour she will be hard to beat. Outward rates the main danger. The colt from the John Gosden yard was a fair fifth behind Rejuvenate on his debut. He is sure to have come on for the run and he should go well. The only other runner that can be considered in this race is Qabas but he has had plenty of chances and he is not the most resolute when full pressure is applied so we are happy to side with Inchberry.
