Verdict
Intomist including a win at this track when recording a recent hat-trick of victories over 7f. He has plenty of early pace so won't be too inconvenienced by this shorter trip but could set the race up for THE TICHBORNE. The latter won a higher grade handicap at Lingfield in April and Joey Haynes' claim allows him to race off the same mark today. Annes Rocket is another with a chance after a pipe-opener at Ascot but the formerly useful Judd Street has shown no improvement despite plummeting down the weights. Commandingpresence could prove best of the remainder.
