Verdict

This should turn out to be strong handicap form but such was the impression INOX ALLEN created on second chase start in the spring, he's hard to get away from on this return to action. Darcy's Friend is just the type his excellent yard will get even more out of so he's a huge threat, while Double Powerful and Crest of Fortune are just a couple of interesting chase debutants.
