In depth

Verdict

Enchancia is having a first run since landing a maiden point in May of last year. Mcgarry’s win in that sphere came more recently but Frisson Collonges beat only one home when fourth, and a big outsider, at Ascot. The Queen’s STEAL A MARCH was let down by his jumping on his hurdling debut at Newbury but still finished a respectable fourth and he wouldn’t need to improve on that to land a very weak novices’ event.
