In depth
Verdict
Intense Romance comes into the race in good form, having won for the second time in three outings at Newcastle last time, but the manner of that victory did not suggest that she had too much in hand, so preference is for COMPUTABLE. Although disappointing at York last time, that performance can be put down to unsuitable going and with conditions more to his liking here he can deliver on the promise he showed on his handicap debut. Twizzell was disappointing last time and Hemingway also has something to prove, but The Nazca Lines has been running well without getting any reward and is capable of making the frame.
