INTERVENTION (NAP) is enjoying a purple patch and landed a double over 7f with last week’s victory here. Equally effective over this shorter trip, he looks worth sticking with. Expert Agent won when last seen over course and distance back in April and has recently moved yards while Bosh looks no nearer winning his first handicap despite slipping down the weights. Cuban Breeze had the measure of Buccabay when successful at Chelmsford last month while Ancient Times steps back up in trip having returned to a winning mark.
