ENLACE (NAP) takes no prisoners and Mark Johnston is trying to strike while the iron is hot with his in-form filly, who has won her last three starts over this trip and should take all the beating again. Alejandro could take her on for the lead and is another to consider but Tournament is better over a mile and has an alternative engagement at Sandown. Royal Seal's second at York in May reads well and she isn't out of this but Newmarket winner Majestic Moon has been raised 5lb and Basil Berry may be in the handicapper's grip. Above The Rest went close back over his best trip at Doncaster but a 4lb rise looks harsh.
