Future Ticketing Handicap

A nose runner-up off this exact mark last time, Inferno clearly handles eight furlongs on a sound surface and steps up in first-time headgear today — still yet to score in recent starts, but consistent enough to pose a real threat to the principals.

Suited by a mile on a sound surface and has shown ability in recent starts, but the form dropped sharply when beaten 10 lengths at Redcar last time out and a return to that level is required — comes in from draw 1.

Back-to-back successes — including a five-length landing off a 9lb lower mark here last time — mark this filly out as the one to beat; acts across the going range and has course form in first-time blinkers, though a 9lb hike means more is needed to complete the hat-trick.

Winless in recent starts and finished ninth and seventh in his last two outings, failing to land a blow from off the pace; first-time tongue-tie from draw 6 offers a small wildcard, but needs considerably more on these figures.

Landed a handicap by four and a half lengths off a 6lb lower mark at Redcar only three days ago, suggesting the form is in good order; acts over today's distance in first-time blinkers, though meeting rivals under a penalty is the key test.
