The consistent Inke made a winning return in soft ground at Lingfield earlier in the month. She’s upped a further 5lb but should be on the premises once again. INDULGED is progressing well and won her maiden over today’s trip at Ripon recently. She only scored by a neck but was well clear of the rest and there should be more to come. Danilovna was sent off odds-on for her reappearance at Sandown but was never going and can only improve while Sahara makes most appeal of the remainder on a recent fourth over track and trip.
