KINTAIL still looks a work-in-progress for his top yard but that arguably increases his appeal now he goes handicapping from what could be a lenient mark, so he is perhaps the way to go. This trip looks more suitable for Inthewaterside so he needs to go on the shortlist, with Canty Bay another of firm interest in what looks a strong race for the grade.
