In depth
Verdict
Intense Romance has been in fine form at Newcastle this year and won again at the latter track on her latest start. Dandy Highwayman went close at Ripon a week ago having won at the same venue in April and can confirm latest running with Angel Meadow while the unexposed Dubai Art debuts on Turf having won over 7f at Lingfield at the start of the year. HEE HAW is also lightly raced and was runner-up at Ayr on his reappearance. He can figure on his handicap debut and gets a tentative vote.
