Intensified was eased down once his chance had gone at Leopardstown. His earlier form is streets ahead of the others with experience and he's the one to beat if back on track today. However, Aidan O'Brien seems to have taken a liking to this maiden as he's picked up the last three renewals with subsequent Group winners Treasure Beach, Daddy Long Legs and Battle Of Marengo. MEKONG RIVER gets the vote to follow suit with fellow newcomers So So Far and Battle Hymn others to note.
