Verdict

INTRINSIC BOND defied a penalty when winning the valuable Great St Wilfred handicap at Ripon. He beat Good Earth on that occasion and can confirm superiority bidding for a hat-trick in this lower grade sprint. Pendleton finished in front of subsequent winner Rathbone and Baba Reza when second over track and trip and is also preferred to Asadjumeirah, who placed at Haydock last time having won here back in April. Parisiac scored at Doncaster on only his second start gelded and has scope for further progress.
