None of these are likely to be overjoyed with the ground here, but it should prove least problematic for Kids Inheritance, who is therefore taken to beat Saby in what equates to a match. The selection has at least showed some form on soft in the past and also receives a handy 7lb from Saby here. His recent chasing debut at Perth behind Quazar left a fair bit of room for improvement, and he did make the odd mistake. However, his run there was an improvement on any of his hurdling form and that suggests that we will see much more of him in this sphere. With his ability to handle cut a big plus we will take a chance on him. Saby is bound to be very popular after running up a hat-trick and he is clearly improving for Philip Hobbs. However, all that will count for little if he cannot handle the going here and all the indications from his hurdling form are that he will not, so we are prepared to field against him as a result of that. None of the others have anything like the form of the leading duo and make no substantial appeal, so we take Kids Inheritance to pick up the money.
