Only 3lb separates this sextet according to official ratings. Enigmatic won a handicap here in May on his reappearance and hasn’t done much wrong since so looks the pick of the older horses ahead of Wafy but the three-year-olds should hold sway. Tulfarris has been set some stiff tasks since placing twice in the spring. Warning Fire ran well at Goodwood after earlier wins at Redcar and Doncaster but may have gone off the boil. Trolius is having a first run since a winter campaign in Dubai and EBURY also returns from a break. Martyn Meade’s colt is making his debut on Turf but the yard had high hopes for him in the spring and he can start making up for lost time.
