Intiwin and Ythan Waters are closely matched on earlier running at Ayr with the former preferred after a good effort at York last time. But BARTEL finished ahead of a subsequent winner when third at Newmarket on his debut and Ed Vaughan's colt can land this with normal progress. Swaheen looks a likely improver for the powerful Stoute yard with Bravo Zolo and Secrets Safe newcomers to keep an eye on.
