Troubled Soul scored over a longer trip at Kelso last month but has been raised 8lb and today's soft going is a worry but INCH LALA (NAP) will be at home on this surface and, after placing at Ludlow on her chasing bow and first start for Evan Williams, she gets the vote to come out best. Tickerty Boo debuts over fences wearing a tongue-tie for the first time but Trooblue finished a well-beaten fourth at Hexham on her chasing debut though still finished in front of Ringaringarosie with Gogo Baloo pulled up in the same race.
