Verdict

INTIMATE made a promising start over fences when finding only Mount Tempest too good at Sandown and, with the likelihood of better to come from this 6-y-o, he looks the way to go. Next on the list is Cerendipity, who is bidding to win second time out for the third consecutive season, while last year's winner Netywell and Xcitations also warrant consideration.

  1. INTIMATE (FR)
