        Verdict

        Inshaa was placed over track and trip recently but is upped in class while BUSH WARRIOR was narrowly beaten in a claimer at Lingfield last time. But the winner was rated 69, so the form looks solid enough and he gets the nod. Compas Scoobie returns to action having gone close off today’s mark at Newcastle in November while Cultured Knight was second at Kempton when last racing over 6f. Dinneratmidnight is not badly treated on his winning form and should be sharper for a recent comeback run.
