Kids Inheritance can once again prove too good for Incas, with What Do'in and Kitski expected to make their presence felt. The outcome of this may revolve around the contest that took place at Kelso at the start of the month in which Kids Inheritance absolutely bolted up, with Incas 15-lengths away and another of today's rivals even further behind. His style of racing, coming from off the pace, is a bit of a worry, as is the fact that he has never won going right-handed. However, with doubts about many of his opponents here, Malcolm Jefferson's charge is taken to pick then off up the hill. As mentioned, Incas looks held, and the dark horse could be Irish point winner What Do'in who makes the long haul up from Naunton. He should be noted for future reference, while Kitski lacks experience and will need the run. Therefore, the percentage call is Kids Inheritance.
