This trip holds no fears for Incisor and the bang-in-form son of Dracula can get his fangs into another victory here; possibly at the main expense of Ivory Coast and Hawkit, who have both hit form at the right time to get competitive tonight. The same has to be said of Goblin though, as the form of his recent Beverley success is working out well and he is another to place on the shortlist of alternatives. However, he, in turn, may find the selection too progressive a rival to deal with and, like the majority of the rest, a place looks his very best hope tonight. Which brings us nicely back to Incisor, who has been very well placed to rack up his quick-fire hat-trick. This does represent a stiffer test now that he is returning to turf and he will need to be at the top of his game to land the four-timer. Nevertheless, his capable trainer has not over faced Incisor in his races to date and there is no reason to suspect that he cannot find sufficient improvement to deliver the goods again here.
