Verdict
INTUITIVE drops back down in distance having faced a tough task here last time behind My Oberon, rated 113. He still finished in front of Stone Soldier on that occasion and should find this easier. Al Rufaa failed to win any of last year’s three outings in handicaps and may do better on these terms as he returns to action while the remainder have plenty to find at the weights with Repartee clear of Global Esteem and Mykonos St John as he debuts for a new yard.
