    Verdict

    There shouldn't be too much to choose here between So Is She and the selection INTRUSION. Richard Fahey's charge is just preferred as more of a specialist at this trip who comes here in good form and may do better now back on a sound surface. Even so, her chief opponent is also in great heart, having recently finished runner-up over both five and seven furlongs with some cut in the ground. Her latest effort suggested that this drop back in trip may not necessarily be advantageous. Elusive Prince is nicely bred and from a yard whose juveniles are often backed if forward enough on debut, so watch the market for clues, though Music News may do better when handicapping. Intrusion is the one for us.
