Worthwhile form over today’s distance is in short supply but Singular Quest has been in the mix over 1m4f recently and About Glory finished a close-up third over the same trip at Kempton. Strictly Art won over 1m3f at Ripon on his penultimate start and Costa Percy scored off a 5lb lower mark over 1m4f at Musselburgh last month. But INNISH MAN should be sharper today with a couple of recent outings under his belt and he gets a speculative vote on last year’s second over track and trip when rated 10lb higher.
