MR BROCK was in superb form at last year's Carnival scoring twice before a fine run in the World Cup behind Gloria De Campeao. He made a promising return behind Mendip here two weeks ago and looks as good as ever. Enak was twice behind Mendip here last year and has had very little racing subsequently but there was plenty to like about his narrow defeat by Steele Tango a couple of weeks ago and there is more to come from him. Wealthy is an unexposed type and Frankie Dettori's mount is one to keep an eye on as he makes his return though he was well beaten on his only all-weather start. Jockey bookings suggest Psychic Ability may need the run but Daragh O'Donohoe was on board when he scored at Sandown in September which could be a pointer. The progressive Honour System has done his winning on soft ground and it will be interesting to see how he handles this surface.
