A maiden winner in Ireland, INCRIMINATION was having only her second start for Conrad Allen when scoring with plenty in hand over track and trip on her handicap debut. She can defy a penalty and confirm running with third-placed Come On Girl in this. Swiss Pride finished in front of both the selection and With Respect on earlier placed efforts here and should have the measure of Bare Necessity but the veteran El Hombre escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices’ race at Chelmsford and looks a bigger threat.
