Intrinsic Bond is 9lb higher than when scoring here back in July though was third in the Portland at Doncaster last month ahead of Get It, Badri, Tees Spirit, Existent, last year’s winner Dream Composer and Call Me Ginger. The latter had earlier won over track and trip when just getting the better of MOUNTAIN PEAK but that effort heralded a return to form for Ed Walker’s charge and he gets the vote having won here in 2022 off a 10lb higher mark. Bedford Flyer and Acklam Express have plenty to find with the selection on latest running.
