Verdict

INLAWED has been in good form at Kempton. He’s won over today’s trip either side of a placed effort over 7f and should make another bold bid. Indian Affair has been thereabouts of late and Danish Duke went close at Redcar recently. Strategic Heights won at Dundlak earlier in the year was placed in a claimer at Southwell last week while Invincible Ridge was beaten only a neck over 5f here recently. Essential is the least exposed and Silvestre De Sousa’s presence takes the eye.
