Verdict

TINTINTIN has a penalty but is the one to beat in this with his latest second at Huntingdon having been franked. Cloud Dancer was very green in a bumper at Cheltenham last month and may need more time while Imperial Jade is already starting to look a bit exposed. Amalfi Skyline looks held on the form book while neither The Flying Fig nor Jina managed to complete on debut, though the latter did start favourite at Ludlow.
