Verdict
CASCOVA is impossible to oppose, though won’t be much of a price. He finished nine lengths ahead of a subsequent easy winner when getting off the mark at Ascot and there is nothing to fear among his four rivals here. Inishbiggle has travelled strongly in both starts to date but hasn’t found much in the closing stages and changed stables at the start of the month.
