Both of Enigma Code's victories have been gained here but he's better handicapped on turf and may have to wait before gaining his third success. He's been racing in the UK recently like Bubbly Bellini and the latter looks to have a better chance as he's been dropped to a very fair mark and didn't have much luck in-running at Lingfield last month. Little Luxury has had three runs at Wolverhampton this year without showing much but at least the handicapper has been able to show leniency and he's 9lb lower. DUNNE GRAND has two career victories to her name, over this C&D and on Laytown's sand in September. She's no world-beater but Ger Lyons should have her ready and she's on a reasonable mark.
