INCH LODGE looks suited to this trip so gets the selection ahead of Onemoreandstay and Mayfair's Future. Debbie Mountain's seven-year-old won last time out in a race where the trip was a tad too short for him but he took advantage of the gallop set by the leader and was able to snatch victory. The horse can build on his first win in just over a year and from a good draw he should go close. Onemoreandstay has shown some ability in six starts over trips ranging from 6f to 1m2f. The filly won her maiden in decent style but she was disappointing last time and she looks high enough in the weights at present. Mayfair's Future was a winner over this trip two starts ago, and he didn't appear to get home last time so the drop back in distance should suit. This race should be dominated by three horses, but for the winner we return to INCH LODGE.
