        Verdict

        SAPA INCA was beaten only a neck over today’s trip at Kempton on her handicap debut and Mark Johnston’s filly gets the speculative vote. But alternatives abound in a wide-open contest with Rowland Ward running well at Pontefract on his reappearance and Thunderoad finishing ahead of Debbonair when going close at Wolverhampton earlier. Palladium found only one too good in maiden company at the latter track recently while the likes of Chinese Alphabet, Valence, Fantastic Ms Fox and Flint Hill all ran well on their respective comebacks and Artistic Language is not out of this either with Silvestre De Sousa on board.
