Inhale has won two of only four starts but has been hard to keep right and changed hands in December. She’s also fitted with a hood on her return and FORTAMOUR (NAP) is preferred. The latter beat a subsequent winner easily enough over course and distance last month and Ben Haslam’s charge can defy a 5lb rise in the weights. Gallipoli ran well for third in a tougher contest at Wolverhampton last time and makes more appeal than Candelisa, who won over a longer trip at Kempton earlier, while Lion Hearted is not out of this if back to his best after last month’s pipe-opener.
