INCH LALA (NAP) has struggled off higher marks since winning easily at Sedgefield in December but looks more reliable than Got Away, who is giving her 21lb and has been out of sorts since taking a Listed contest over a longer trip here more than a year ago. Northern Beau still has a bit of scope over fences but is now 0-17 under Rules so needs more.
