Verdict

Musselburgh winner Hesketh Bank was upped in class at Ascot last time but that was still no excuse for finishing tailed off. INTENSE TANGO (NAP) looks a safer bet as he ran well again in Class 2 company at Haydock recently having won at the same track before that. Clear Spell should be thereabouts and finished ahead of Ryeolliean when third over 1m2f here last month while Miss Tree remains unexposed and makes more appeal than both Chivers and Tactical Strike.
