INTALZA was beaten only a length at Redcar on her penultimate start and, given that is the closest any of this bunch have come to winning, she gets a token vote. Ice Bond finished just ahead of The Knave at Chelmsford last time without threatening while Frap posted a better effort at Bath in September only to finish tailed off on his latest outing. Barabau has yet to figure in maiden company but may do better now handicapping for the first time.
