Verdict
INTENSIFIED is comfortably the best of those with experience having been beaten less than a length by the well-regarded Sir John Hawkins at the Curragh. He'll have come on for the run and can see off the attentions of newcomer War Command, trained like the Curragh winner by Aidan O'Brien. Out of a mare who has produced numerous winners, he'll know his job and Group entries suggest he's also highly regarded. Hidden Oasis and Keyword are respected, especially the latter whose dam has produced winners with her first five foals but Whitey O' Gwaun is by Dalakhani so may need further though he's a half-brother to four winners.
