Verdict
A high draw is a plus in these sprints and Lord Of The Inn is well placed in stall seven. He didn't have the best of runs at Goodwood and being by Efisio, he will not mind the give underfoot. Malapropism had a nice confidence booster when beating inferior opposition at Redcar, but that was on a fast surface and it remains to be seen how he handles this softer ground. Course winner Desert Spirit and Leicester winner Socks For Glenn can fight out the minor honours.
