INTRANSIGENT took advantage of a slide down the weights when scoring over track and trip recently and remains on a winning mark despite a 5lb rise. He’s taken to confirm running with third-placed Magical Effect and go in again. Intense Style won an amateurs' event over a slightly longer trip here last time with subsequent winner Baltic Prince behind while Twin Appeal carries 6lb extra for winning at Beverley during the week. Novice winner Shawaamekh makes his handicap debut and is preferred to the more exposed pair, Madrinho and Ptarmigan Ridge.
