In depth
Verdict
This is likely to turn into a real slog and that won't bother Incentivise, on a hat-trick after victories at Bangor and Fontwell. He had KAYBEEW five lengths back in third last time in a race that's worked out well but Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge was making his seasonal reappearance that day and is now 6lb better off. The younger horse can reverse the form and take this. Volador stays well but may be anchored by his big weight in this ground and Siberian Tiger's stamina may not last. Benheir needs to bounce back from a poor run at Newbury when Master Neo was also well beaten.
