      Verdict

      INTISAAB was beaten less than a length at Ascot last month and David Barron’s charge looks set for a return to winning ways. He’s preferred to Classic Seniority, placed in amateur company at York, but Go Go Green has made the frame here on a couple of occasions already this year. That includes a narrow-margin defeat on his penultimate start when ahead of most of the remainder including Blue Sonic, Vallarta, Jinky and previous course and distance winner Mo Henry.
