It could pay to stick with INTENSE STARLET given today’s modest opposition. She won over 6f here before scoring over course and distance last week and can confirm latest running with Windforpower. Frank The Barber was runner-up at Chelmsford on his penultimate start and Wotnot was narrowly beaten at Leicester last month but is 3lb higher today. Jebel Tara was behind the selection when fourth here earlier while Chip Or Pellet will need to improve on his recent fourth in maiden company to figure in this.
