Jim Bolger runs both INTENSE LIGHT and Intense Debate and it's the former, who made her debut in a Listed contest at the Curragh where she performed with credit, who should come out best and take this. Intense Debate made her debut in a Group 3 and ran quite well but she failed to make the expected progress when a beaten favourite on Polytrack at Dundalk. Myamo was also market leader in a Down Royal claimer last time but ran poorly and Westpieser is likely to provide more of a threat having run well in a better race than this at the Curragh last time. Dermot Weld's newcomer Nidhaam will probably do better next season.
