Inca Heights

Trainer Clive Cox, who runs one of the country's most prolific yards at Lambourn, has sent out 48 winners this season alone, so there is no shortage of experience in the stable. Yet Inca Heights remains a work in progress. The recent form tells its own story: a fifth-place finish most recently, with a second place buried four runs back the only bright spot in the last half-dozen outings. At this stage, the horse looks like a modest performer operating at a modest level, capable of the occasional place but not yet the kind of reliable winner that would catch serious attention. Still active and racing regularly, there is time for another breakthrough, but the window to build on that early Newbury success is slowly closing.
