Karl Burke sends over the progressive INTENSE TANGO. This admirable mare is penalised for winning over today’s trip at Haydock a week ago but there looks still more to come from her. Dermot Weld runs both Radanpour and Silver Concorde with the former preferred having won at Bellewstown last time while last month’s Ebor third Quick Jack makes more appeal than stablemate Pyromaniac. Avenante beat Intisari at the Curragh back in June but the latter re-opposes on better terms while Botany Bay is fancied to reverse earlier running here with Kalann. Le Vagabond won over today’s trip at Killarney last time but is upped 10lb while Alton Bay was a well-beaten fourth in last year’s renewal with one of today’s reserves Golden Spear further behind.
