INUK has won twice over 6f and was placed over track and trip in between. Winning partner Nicola Currie is back on board today and Richard Hughes’ filly may prove good enough. Avon Green finished well ahead of Hornby when beaten a length in novice company here last month and has gone close in a handicap before while Sir Hector is a likely improver back on Polytrack for only his second start handicapping. Cool Baby slips further down the weights but was due to run at Southwell yesterday.
