Verdict

Barkston Ash won a division of this in 2014 but failed to score last year and was tailed off on his reappearance. INTISAAB (NAP) had a run at Doncaster under his belt before landing last year's renewal and has followed a similar path. Jockey bookings suggest David O'Meara's charge is preferred to stablemates Dandyleekie and Mime Dance and can win this again. Mississippi was not beaten far when third last year and should go well again after a pipe-opener at Wolverhampton while an apprentice's claim allows Eastern Racer to compete off a lower mark than when completing a double with a victory at Redcar last summer.
