Verdict
An opening handicap mark of 75 could underestimate recent 6f maiden winner MCINTOSH and he can bring to an end the winning run of Lady Manzor. Oisin Murphy takes the ride on Ed Walker handicap newcomer Bermuda Princess and she'd also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for her.

VerdictNo better than modest form in 3 outings over sprint trips for William Haggas last summer but has a useful pedigree and rates an interesting handicap debutante for a new stable with Oisin Murphy booked. Market support could prove significant.
