INTENSE TANGO (NAP) drops in class after finishing second in Class 2 company at Newmarket and can go one better. Innocent Touch has been thereabouts of late and finished ahead of both Trendsetter and Esteaming when third at Hamilton last month while Ronald Gee beat Forced Family Fun and Love Marmalade when scoring at York last time, though the latter pair re-oppose on much better terms today. Corona Borealis finished runner-up at Carlisle off a similar mark on his penultimate start and is preferred to Entihaa, who can race off a lower mark back on Turf.
