INGLEBY KING is the tentative suggestion in a competitive finale despite still being in search of a maiden success. David Barron's charge has been given a hand by the assessor and shaped well enough over a slightly shorter trip at the track in September to think that he can make his presence felt in this company. Escardo has done enough the last twice to believe that he can pick up a small race from his current perch and is closely matched with Al Rayanah on their running last time. Masterofceremonies is relatively unexposed on this surface and may fare better whilst support for either of Viking Rock or Royal Island would bring them into the equation.
