Course-and-distance winner Intense Romance failed to cope with a 5lb rise at Hamilton and the previously progressive Kinloch Pride was well beaten in better company at York last time. Krystallite only won a lower grade sprint at Wolverhampton earlier but Reedanjas and Paradwys are less-exposed types expected to go well. FRUIT SALAD has been competing in tougher sprints since scoring at Redcar last season and should be spot on for this with Paul Hanagan taking over the reins today.
