Verdict

Bear Behind returns from Meydan with three good efforts in tough handicaps to his credit and likes to race prominently while Irish raider and multiple Dundalk winner Timeless Call will try and dictate from an inside draw. That should set the race up nicely for INTRANSIGENT as he faded close home on his first start since September over 6f last Saturday. Tarooq proved too good for him by a head on that occasion but he can reverse the form over today's minimum trip. Tarooq had beaten Woolfall Sovereign and last year's winner Fratellino earlier but, along with Farmleigh House and York Glory, finished behind Ladies Are Forever in a Listed sprint over 6f here three weeks ago. The latter can figure again and Taajub is not out of this either if running somewhere near his best on his reappearance.
