In depth

Verdict

Intersky Sports is the pick to land the maiden at the expense of Grand Art and Ishetoo, with the market best watched for the rest. Intersky Sports was sent off as favourite on his debut on the Southwell Fibresand at the end of May, but dead-heated for second behind Ten Dollars More. Subsequently fourth at Redcar when again sent off fancied, this half-brother to quite a few winners will surely know what is required this time, and is taken to get the losses back. Grand Art makes the journey from Newmarket, with Frankie Dettori booked to ride, and if the market speaks kindly, then he should play a leading role. Ishetoo has three lengths to find with the selection on Redcar running but is another that can show improvement, while the market should be noted for the rest. All in all, Kevin Ryan, who has some very good juveniles in his yard, will be disappointed if he cannot find an opening for Intersky Sports.
