Having looked a very promising sprinter this time last year INGRA TOR didn’t kick on as expected thereafter. Yet, he returns on the back of being gelded, boasting a good record fresh, and he could just be worth chancing to get back on track from a handy draw with the likelihood of a good gallop to aim at another plus. SilkyWilkie, who goes from strength to strength, Baldomero and Sir Robin head the dangers in a cracking race of its type
