INSPIRED looked a useful prospect when winning a maiden by a wide margin at this C&D and confirmed that progress when coming clear of the rest in a novice here last month, so can make a winning handicap debut. Francesi goes well over C&D and was edged out only in the dying strides here 4 days ago. Aisling Oscar matched a 30-year record with 8 straight handicap wins at Southwell last time and must be feared.
