Verdict
David O'Meara saddles the top two in the weights in this. Both are drawn near the stands' rail and only found one too good last time but INTISAAB gets the vote ahead of Dandyleekie. The latter came out on top when the pair clashed at Ripon last month but the selection would probably have won at Ascot later had he had a clear run and can take his revenge. Gold Flash has been knocking on the door and has to go on the short-list but Point North might struggle to complete the four-timer back on Turf off a higher mark. Heartsong and recent Wolverhampton winner Available look best of the rest with Ballesteros looking a light of former days.
