Verdict
Intrinsic Bond remains 11lb higher than when scoring at Catterick last month and had earlier found RATHBONE (NAP) too good over course and distance. The latter went close again off today’s mark at Newmarket recently and winning partner Oliver McSweeney is back on board today. Chairmanoftheboard finished behind the selection last time but Just Frank has been thereabouts over 7f and the veteran Secretinthepark won a lower grade sprint over 5f here last time. Woven is not badly treated back on Turf and could also go well.
