Martin Pipe's Inflation has failed to fulfill the potential he showed when runner-up at Towcester last November but should still be too strong for today's rivals in a particularly weak event. The daughter of Port Etienne may have set too strong a pace in the first-time visor when flopping at Newbury last month but is worth another chance to atone for some costly failures. Heart Of The Sun finished a fair third in a Worcester novice last June but has failed to reproduce the form since and was particularly disappointing off a mark of just 90 in handicap company last time while Red Square Dawn remains out of form and has a very stiff task at the weights.
