CABRAGH (NAP) beat Tuesday’s Lingfield winner On The Road by 13 lengths over this course and distance early last month and forged clear of the well-backed Pithivier at Bangor 10 days ago. He’s in the form of his life and, though carrying a penalty, should prove tough to beat even though he gives weight to three others who have winning form over track and trip. Master Rajeem’s Hexham win came over hurdles, however, and Debt To Society has also been running over the smaller obstacles lately while Hinton Indiana is returning from a lengthy absence. Wetherby second Inchcolm has place claims again, however, as does Musselburgh third Mister Don.
