Soft ground is less than ideal for recent Epsom winner Reputation and the treble-seeking Luis Vaz De Torres but INTENSE STYLE (NAP) coped well in the testing going at Doncaster last week when runner-up to Burnt Sugar. He gets the nod ahead of Baron Bolt, who remains 6lb higher than when landing a double over track and trip last summer. Harwoods Volante steps back up in distance after placing over 6f here while Sakhee's Return is not badly treated if handling the softer ground after a comeback third at Redcar.
