Verdict

INCLUSION stepped up on her chase debut when coasting home at Tipperary and, with the promise of better to come now pitched into a handicap in this sphere, she will prove hard to beat. Top Line Tommy, a wide-margin C&D winner in June, shaped better than the bare result at Wexford recently and he is feared most. Influential Lady and Whacker Clan both make each-way appeal.
