Innclassic gets a narrow vote over the likes of Beverley Beau, Ardkeel Lass and Indian Bazaar. This is yet another uninspiring affair, but Innclassic has enough placed form to be recommended. Jane Southcombe's filly has just the one career win to her credit, when trained by Brian Meehan last year, but just of late has shown signs that another success is around the corner. She likes to lead, and those tactics have seen her placed on three of her last four starts, so she looks set to give another good account under Amir Quinn. Beverley Beau improved to be just touched off at Lingfield last time but that was over six furlongs and he may struggle to get into the thick of the action in time. A similar comment applies to Ardkeel Lass who seems a better animal on the fibresand at Southwell. Indian Bazaar looks held by the selection on October form here, and with nothing else standing out, Innclassic is taken to make all.
