          In depth

          Verdict

          Sir Mark Prescott's Inglis Drever looks a fair bet against the in-form combination of Archie Babe and Duc's Dream. Inglis Drever should improve for the step up in trip to twelve furlongs after he was caught for toe at Chester over two furlongs less. The pedigree suggests that he should encounter no problems with the trip and his recent efforts have been consistent. Archie Babe finally gained just reward for some fair efforts when taking a Pontefract handicap last month. His overall all-weather form is less impressive though and he will need to pick up on all previous forays onto the fibresand. Duc's Dream is something of a standing dish at the track having scored three times here last term. The stable sent out their first winner last week and Duc's Dream looked to produce a much improved performance on turf at Yarmouth last time out. Exclusive Air has shown little since landing a Classified Stakes at the track in March. A comment that similarly applies to January course-and-distance winner, Fight The Feeling. Kentucky Bullet is moderate but makes most appeal of the lighter weights.
