Wild Intent

J: G Lerena

T: M N Houdalakis

All his winning form has come at Vaal (two successes); found life tough when 6l back in ninth at Kenilworth over 1m1f (Grade 3) 42 days ago; could have less on his plate in this; looks likely to be involved.

Page Boy is capable of getting involved, and Wild Intent must enter calculations. However, IMMEDIATE EDGE gets the vote. He may be capable of extending his winning run further and is still unbeaten.
