Verdict

A number of these horses have clearly been awaiting the arrival of rainfall, none more so than the returning (clean winded) C&D scorer Incus. It's easy to make a case for plenty of those with form in the book including the rejuvenated Methag, and the recent AW scorer Burn Some Dust, whilst a degree of caution should be afforded to the less exposed lightly-raced pair Hazarfan and The Pinto Kid (handicap debut). However, with the added guile of Oishin Murphy aboard the Hughie Morrison-trained soft ground specialist AFFAIR, there's every likelihood that her initial keen going nature can be harnessed for a stronger finishing effort.
