Verdict
The progressive Inshiraah returns to action 10lb higher than when scoring on the July course here last summer. Medahim won over a mile on the July course last term and Medieval has been raised 6lb for scoring over course and distance in September. Absolutely So reverts to handicapping having landed a Group 3 at Haydock in June while White Lake and Accession are others worthy of a second glance. Take The Helm won a competitive contest at Lingfield recently while STAMP HILL beat Mjjack to win the valuable International Stakes handicap over 7f at Ascot last year. He failed to figure from the wrong side of the draw in the Lincoln on his reappearance but today’s going will suit so Richard Fahey’s charge gets a speculative vote.
