Shumoos won this for Brian Meehan last year and INTIBAAH looks to have been aimed at today's renewal. The Wolverhampton winner followed up with a ready success at Ffos Las and carries his owner's first colours ahead of Odooj. The latter finished a creditable fourth in the Gimcrack at York last time when just ahead of Pearl Acclaim and Richard Hannon's colt had earlier beaten Ashaadd at Ripon. Well Acquainted has claims on his second to Hototo at York with Mister Marc behind and Faithfilly arrives on the back of a Listed win in France, though could have been better drawn for this.
