Verdict
There's plenty with claims in this. Compton finished just ahead of Related at Leicester recently and the latter gets a first-time visor in hope of turning the tables. But that pair are hard to separate and INTOMIST is preferred. Jim Boyle's charge found only Kosika too good over track and trip a fortnight ago and should also get the better of Rogue Wave. The latter went close when runner-up at Newcastle last time and makes more appeal than Windsor winner Shifting Star, who is up in class off a higher mark for this.
