Plenty with claims including recent course and distance winner Coverham, who finished in front of Early Dawn and Crystal Casque. The latter had earlier beaten Mister Musicmaster at Salisbury in August and Ron Hodges’ charge went close again at Bath last time. The Lamplighter will find this tougher than when second in a seller at Leicester but ENTHAAR may improve now handicapping. He was placed over today’s trip at Lingfield recently and Simon Crisford’s charge gets the nod to come good in this.
