In depth

Verdict

Intomist may have come up against a well-handicapped rival when bidding for a four-timer at Salisbury last week and shouldn't be written off just yet. Shahrazad has now won twice over track and trip but has struggled in this grade in the past while recent Lingfield runner-up West Leake still looks to be a couple of pounds too high and Teen Ager may also be in the handicapper's grip now. LEVI DRAPER's two victories have come over sprint distance but he was placed off a higher mark over this trip at Wolverhampton last year and can complete his hat-trick. Admiralofthesea won twice here in April and looks the pick of the remainder.
