Sir Michael Stoute has plenty of runners here and boasts an impressive strike rate especially with his three-year-old representatives. He won last year's renewal and INTIMATION (NAP) fits the bill in this as she won a maiden over a mile at Nottingham on her reappearance and one of her winning relatives scored over today's longer trip. Mikandy continued her good progress when scoring at Nottingham on her comeback and bids for a four-timer off an 8lb higher mark but Deep Blue Sea creeps further up the weights despite failing to get her head in front. Julieta may do better now handicapping but Secret Lightning was due to run at Beverley last night.
