In depth
Verdict
COMMANCHE FALLS (NAP) has landed three of his last four starts, including a successful reappearance at Ayr last month. He is not ground-dependent and impressed in the way he went clear in that latest run. Shallow Hal ran at York earlier this week so it's an interesting decision to turn him out again here in quick time and he'll handle forecast conditions. Intrinsic Bond was rather disappointing last time when a well-backed favourite but he's a generally consistent sprinter at this level and it wouldn't surprise to see him bounce back.
