In depth

Verdict

INCA BLUE improved for the application of blinkers and a drop to this trip when runner-up to Deliberation at Hamilton on Friday and with Tim Easterby still firing the winners looks have have a good opportunity here. A line through Deliberation gives Tahitian Princess a fine chance though she ran poorly on softer ground at Redcar last week and today's going looks against her. Salik Tag has more scope than most of these but faces a stiff task on his handicap debut while Cathcart Castle has now gone 22 starts without winning and disappointed when fancied at Yarmouth last time.
