Intrepidly won a lower grade contest over track and trip back in February and is 5lb higher on his return. But BULLFINCH (NAP) defied a penalty to land a novices' race over course and distance in good style on his first outing of the year and looks capable of going close at this level. Solid Stone disappointed upped to 1m2f last time but had won over today’s trip at Sandown earlier while Frankie Dettori’s presence on Dawaam takes the eye as the latter drops down in class and is preferred to Jahbath. War Glory is best on the all-weather but that’s reflected by having to race off a 19lb higher mark back on this surface.
