Lightly-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. Sixth of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (5f, 10/1) 83 days ago. Not one to write off just yet, remembering his early potential.

7/1

C&D winner. Tenth of 15 in handicap (12/1) at Doncaster (6f, good) 8 days ago. Has a fitness edge on most, so return to form would put him right in the mix.

17/2

Forecasts

Intrinsic Bond (9/4), Gale Force Maya (7/2), Wentworth Falls (7/1), Fortamour (15/2), Woven (17/2), Embour (11/1), Bomb Proof (14/1), Bossipop (18/1), Juan Les Pins (22/1), Redrosezorro (25/1), Impressor (33/1), Cold Stare (50/1)

INTRINSIC BOND was progressive throughout last season, picking up a course success along the way, and she is very much the type to make a better 4-y-o, so a chance is taken on her to make another winning return. The lightly-raced Bomb Proof could pose the main threat, ahead of Fortamour.
