Intiwin ended a log losing run with success over 7f at Newcastle last week and is penalised in this tougher contest while a further 7lb rise put paid to Edgar Allan Poe’s chances of landing a hat-trick when well beaten at Musselburgh. Crazy Tornado and Rubis are others high enough in the weights so a chance goes to top weight HIGH DRAW (NAP), who never figured in better company at Sandown last time but was beaten only a length in soft going at the same track before that.
