Enriching beat Comanche Chieftain when scoring over track and trip in November and is only 3lb higher. Boonga Roogeta went close at the track on her penultimate start, with Tyrsal behind, while Pink Ribbon finished ahead of Marmalad when second at Kempton and the latter has since made the frame at Wolverhampton. But FREUD tumbled 22lb down the weights last year and finally showed some improvement on his latest start when a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton. He should go close off his current mark and gets the nod.
